2017 Map of Lemay

About this map

Lemay occupies a remote stretch of the Utah desert in this 2017 survey of Box Elder County. The landscape is defined by the vast engineering of the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin, a massive feature utilized for water management and mineral extraction in the Great Salt Lake region. A segment of the Lemay rail line cuts across the basin, marking a critical transport corridor through an otherwise sparse environment. To the southeast, the rising terrain of the Newfoundland Mountains provides a stark contrast to the flat, industrial expanse of the evaporation basins. This map captures the intersection of industrial land use and the natural geological features of the Great Basin, where transportation infrastructure must navigate the specialized geography of the salt flats.
