2011 Map of Promontory Point

About this map

The Promontory Mountains rise at the northern edge of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial land meets the vast expanse of the Great Salt Lake. The settlement of Saline and the geographic feature of Promontory Point represent the primary points of human activity along the southern tip of the peninsula. This environment is defined by its distinct hydrological boundaries, where the main lake body is segmented into Bear River Bay, Ogden Bay, and Gilbert Bay. Access is dominated by East Promontory Rd, which traces the shoreline and provides the only terrestrial link to these remote outposts. Further into the water, Fremont Island emerges with its prominent Miller Point, offering a unique perspective on the isolation and specific geography of the Great Salt Lake's island system in the early twenty-first century.
