2023 Map of Lemay Island

About this map

Lemay Island rises from the salt flats of western Box Elder County, serving as a prominent landmark in an otherwise level landscape. This 2023 survey illustrates the terminus of the ephemeral Grouse Creek, which flows south from the mountains before disappearing into the Grouse Creek Sinks. The map highlights the interface between the desert floor and the surrounding ranges, including the southern edge of the Little Pigeon Mountains and the northern reaches of the Silver Island Mountains. This desert geography is defined by drainage patterns like Miry Wash, where water occasionally transforms the arid basin. Human presence is sparse, represented primarily by the lone corridor of W Little Pigeon Rd skirting the eastern hills. The map provides a detailed view of the topographical contours of these isolated desert islands, including the detached Crater Island to the southeast.
