2014 Map of North of Gold Hill Wash

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, presenting a stark expanse of salt flats and arid terrain. This portion of the Great Basin is defined largely by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t6s r17w and t5s r16w carving the basin into a precise geometric grid. The map reveals the immense scale of the desert's interior, where few natural landmarks or human settlements interrupt the salt crust. Instead, the area is characterized by low relief and the vast, dry basins of western Utah. This data-rich survey focuses on the intricate topography of the desert floor, providing a specialized look at one of the most desolate environments in the American West as it appeared in the early twenty-first century.
