About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates the northern horizon of this map, where the distinctive Eardley Spit projects into the water. Along the southern shore, the landscape of the Tooele Valley is defined by a dense network of residential development and irrigation. The master-planned community of Stansbury Park centers around Stansbury Lake and the Mill Pond, showing a modern pattern of winding streets like Lakeside Dr and Clubhouse Dr that contrasts with the traditional grid of nearby Erda.

Genealogists can locate several local burial sites, including the Lake Point Cem near the historic settlement of Lake Point and the Stansbury Park Cem. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Oquirrh Mountains, where roads like Canyon Rd and Highline Rd trace the foothills. The presence of the Irrigation Canal and the Union Pacific Access Rd highlights the enduring importance of water management and transportation infrastructure in this high-desert corridor between the mountains and the lake.
