2020 Map of Poverty Point

About this map

Lakeside Mountains dominate the western edge of this Tooele County survey, marking the transition between the arid terrain and the salt-crusted flats leading to Stansbury Bay. The area is defined by its stark geological landmarks and the infrastructure required to navigate the Great Salt Lake shoreline. Local access is facilitated by a network of specialized routes, including the W West Stansbury Causeway Rd and smaller tracks like Dead Cow Point Rd and Greasewood Pond Rd. Notable topographic features such as Black Knoll, Dead Cow Point, and the namesake Poverty Point provide essential orientation points in a landscape where water and land frequently shift. The presence of Greasewood Pond further illustrates the isolated hydrological pockets that characterize this desert basin environment.
