About this map

The eastern shores of the Great Salt Lake define this landscape, where the salt marshes and wetlands of the Bear River delta meet the agricultural grid of Weber County. The transition from open water to inland drainage is marked by the Willard Bay Reservoir and a network of seasonal waterways including Second Salt Creek and Third Salt Creek. Rising above the surrounding flats, Little Mtn serves as a prominent natural landmark, also hosting the John C Fremont Monument, which commemorates early explorations of the Great Basin.

Settlement patterns in the area are concentrated around the fringes of Plain City and the rural communities of Warren. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for the Warren Cem and West Warren Cem. The complex hydrology of the region is further evidenced by The Horseshoe Bend and the channel of Little Weber Creek, illustrating the intersection of natural alluvial features and human water management systems.
