1968 Map of Plug Peak NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this orthophotomap, showing the water's expanse as it appeared in the late 1960s with a recorded elevation of 4193 feet. The image highlights the indefinite boundary between Davis and Tooele counties, which cuts diagonally across the open water. Along the western shoreline, the terrain transitions into a stark Mud Flat, where the steep topography of Pass Canyon meets the lake's edge. Hydrographic details include Pass Canyon Spring and several Salt Springs tucked at the base of the rising land. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this orthophotomap uses aerial imagery to show the actual texture of the shoreline and the shallow depths of the lake bed as captured during surveys by the U.S. Corps of Engineers and the Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey.
