The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this landscape in Tooele County, illustrating a vast and stark expanse of the Utah interior. The terrain is characterized by its extreme flatness, represented by the wide spacing of the elevation contours provided by the U.S. Geological Survey. In the northwestern portion of the map, the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin indicates the specialized industrial or environmental use of this arid environment. This 2020 edition captures the region's desolate character, where the natural salt crust and mineral basins are the primary features of interest, reflecting a landscape shaped by the ancient remains of Lake Bonneville.
