2020 Map of Lemay Island

About this map

Lemay Island and the surrounding desert landscape of Box Elder County define this western Utah topography. This map documents a high-altitude basin where ephemeral water systems terminate in the Grouse Creek Sinks. The seasonal flow of Grouse Cr and the drainage of Miry Wash reflect the arid hydrology of the Great Basin, where water frequently disappears into subterranean basins or evaporates on the salt flats. Steep topographic relief is visible in the Little Pigeon Mountains to the northeast and the Silver Island Mountains to the southeast. At the edge of these rises, Crater Island stands as a distinct geological feature, while the presence of W Little Pigeon Rd provides the primary transit link through this sparsely populated terrain.
