2020 Map of Pokes Point

About this map

The Promontory Mountains dominate this landscape, their steep slopes descending directly into the eastern waters of the Great Salt Lake and Bear River Bay. This 2020 survey illustrates a primarily uninhabited coastal terrain, where drainage occurs through numerous named features like North Canyon, South Canyon, and Cellar Canyon. The shoreline is defined by notable landmarks such as Pokes Point and the narrow passage at The Narrows. Freshwater sources are scarce, appearing as small, localized points like Shaw Spring and Maple Spring. The only significant infrastructure is the S East Promontory Rd, which skirts the base of the mountains along the lakefront, providing the primary access through this remote stretch of Box Elder County. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive peaks including Lead Mtn, which overlooks Little Valley to the south.
