1983 Map of Lucin 4 NE

About this map

Mud Flat terrain dominates this 1983 orthophotomap, showing the stark, expansive surface of the Great Salt Lake Desert in Box Elder County. Produced by the Geological Survey using aerial photography from 1973, the imagery reveals the intricate, almost vascular patterns of drainage and seasonal water movement across the salt crust. A single Flowing Well in the northern section provides one of the few points of water infrastructure in this arid environment. The map captures the region at a specific moment in the early 1980s, documenting the undisturbed topography before any modern alterations or environmental shifts in the Great Basin's hydrologic landscape.
