2011 Map of Pokes Point

About this map

The Promontory Mountains dominate this landscape on the northern reaches of the Great Salt Lake, where the high desert meets the salt-rimmed shoreline of Bear River Bay. This 2011 survey reveals a sparsely settled terrain defined by its geology and water sources, including Shaw Spring and Maple Spring. The mountain range is dissected by numerous drainages such as North Canyon, South Canyon, and Cellar Canyon, which feed into the flats of Little Valley and Boothe Valley. Along the coast, the geography is marked by distinctive points and inlets like Pokes Point, Indian Cove, and the restricted passage of The Narrows. Human presence is minimal, anchored by the West Side Ranch and the primary transit artery of S East Promontory Rd, reflecting the remote character of this region of Box Elder County.
