2023 Map of Mouth of Bear River

About this map

The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge dominates this ecological corridor where the Bear River meets the northeastern reaches of the Great Salt Lake. This map details a complex hydrological landscape of shifting channels and marshlands, including the Old River Channel and the specific confluence at the Mouth of Bear River. Distinctive landforms such as Mushback Point, Pintail Neck, and Rock Island provide high ground amidst the expansive wetlands. The presence of Blodgetts Overflow and Bens Overflow indicates the intricate water management required in this migratory habitat. Access is primarily defined by the Bird Refuge Rd, which traverses the sanctuary through South Bay and toward East Pass, providing a clear record of the infrastructure supporting one of Utah's most significant avian environments.
