2020 Map of North of Barro

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, represented here by a vast, minimally contoured expanse that highlights the specialized hydrology of western Utah. Situated within this arid environment is the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin, a feature central to the region's industrial mineral operations. The map illustrates the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System as it overlays the salt flats, where the lack of conventional landmarks like roads or settlements underscores the isolation of the basin. This survey provides a baseline of the evaporative landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century, focusing on the interface between the open desert and these specialized water catchment areas.
