About this map

The Promontory Mountains dominate this landscape, rising sharply from the eastern shores of the Great Salt Lake in Box Elder County. This 2014 survey captures a terrain defined by steep-walled drainage systems, including Miller Canyon, North Canyon, and Brushy Canyon, which carve through the high ridges. Along the shoreline, Bear River Bay and the passage known as The Narrows indicate the complex relationship between the land and the fluctuating lake waters.

Evidence of local ranching and water management is visible through features like West Side Ranch and several mountain sources including Shaw Spring, Maple Spring, and Squaw Springs. To the south, Lead Mtn and Pokes Point stand as prominent landmarks near the southern tip of the peninsula. The primary transit route, S E Promontory Rd, provides the main access point through the high basins of Little Valley and Boothe Valley.
