2023 Map of Miners Basin

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Newfoundland Mountains rise sharply out of the salt flats in this remote section of Box Elder County. This isolated range is the defining physical characteristic of the landscape, providing a stark vertical contrast to the surrounding terrain. Within these mountains, the feature known as Miners Basin suggests a history of resource exploration or temporary settlement that contrasts with the uninhabitable expanse of the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin to the west. The map illustrates the harsh, arid environment of the eastern Great Salt Lake Desert, where topography dictates the limited human footprint. Researchers of Great Basin geography will find this a clear record of the area's landform and drainage patterns, which remain largely unchanged by modern development.
