1988 Map of Newfoundland Mountains

About this map

The Newfoundland Mountains rise as a striking island of terrain surrounded by the expanse of the Great Salt Lake Desert and the Newfoundland Basin. This 1980s landscape is defined by the stark isolation of its desert ranges, including the Silver Island Mountains and the Hogup Mountains. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the Old Railroad Grade and the small settlements of Lucin and Jackson along the western periphery. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Utah Test and Training Range North Area, reflecting the region's mid-century military utility. Traces of historical industry and travel are visible in features like Miners Basin and Patterson Pass, while the hydrologic character of the basin is captured by the Mud Flat, Clyman Bay, and the shifting edges of the Great Salt Lake.
