2023 Map of North of Knolls

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, presenting a stark expanse of salt flats and arid terrain. This contemporary survey records the region's utilization by the Utah Test and Training Range, a vast military restricted area that covers much of the quadrangle's northern half. In the northwest corner, the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin marks a significant hydrological feature within the desert basin. The map illustrates the extreme topography of the western salt flats, where subtle elevation changes are tracked amidst the expansive playas. This document serves as a detailed baseline of the region's current state, illustrating the intersection of natural desert features and specialized military land management.
