2011 Map of Plug Peak NW

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this 2011 map, showing the expansive waters of the inland sea and the narrow passage known as the Fremont Strait. The landforms depicted are concentrated in the southwestern corner, where the northern tip of Stansbury Island rises from the water. This isolated terrain is marked by the rugged drainage of Pass Canyon, which terminates near the shoreline at Morgan Point. The presence of Pass Canyon Spring provides a rare point of named freshwater in this saline environment, illustrating the sparse but critical resources of the Great Basin landscape. This survey provides a clean, modern view of the shoreline and bathymetry in the years following the turn of the millennium.
