2023 Map of Plug Peak SE

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this aquatic landscape in the high desert of northern Utah. As documented in this 2023 U.S. Geological Survey edition, the sheet focuses almost entirely on the open water of the lake's southern reaches. The absence of landmasses or terrestrial features highlights the sheer scale of this inland sea, with the map providing a precise cartographic baseline of the shoreline and water levels as they existed during the 2018 imagery cycle. For researchers or environmental historians, this map serves as a critical record of the lake's footprint during a period of significant regional focus on its hydrological health and changing water levels.
