2011 Map of Meadow Spring

About this map

Newfoundland Evaporation Basin dominates the lower landscape of this Box Elder County terrain, illustrating the hydrologic patterns and industrial use of Utah's salt flats in the early twenty-first century. The basin's expanse serves as a stark contrast to the high ground of the Hogup Mountains in the northwest and Broom Mountain to the east. These geological features define the corridor of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where water sources like Meadow Spring were essential for early navigation and survival. This survey provides a precise look at the contours and elevations of these remote ranges, recording the intersection of natural salt-crust formations and mountain topography in a region defined by its extreme arid environment.
