About this map

Market Lake and the surrounding Market Lake State Wildlife Management Area dominate this Jefferson County landscape, where the water's edge meets a complex system of local infrastructure. The transition from the wetlands of the Slough to the higher desert ground is marked by industrial and agricultural footprints, including a Radio Facility, a Storage Bin, and several Borrow Pit sites. These features reflect the mid-century development of the region's transportation and utility networks.

Interstate 15 and U.S. Route 91 intersect at Sage Junction, providing a major north-south corridor alongside the Union Pacific railroad tracks. Local land use is evidenced by named infrastructure like the Larsen and Bell segments, as well as the Robison property. Small settlements and sidings like Hawgood and Terreton are located near the transit lines, while the Canal and various Pumping Sta labels indicate the extensive water management required for the surrounding agricultural community.
