2014 Map of North of Knolls

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 2014 survey of Tooele County, Utah, providing a detailed look at the arid topography of the basin-and-range interior. This landscape is primarily defined by its vast salt flats and sparse elevation contours, which illustrate the extreme flatness of the salt crust. In the northwestern corner, the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin marks a significant hydrologic feature where mineral-rich waters are managed within the desert environment. This map captures the region's character as a managed wilderness, where the geometry of township and range lines like t1n r13w and t2n r13w are the only indicators of human organization across the salt-covered terrain.
