About this map

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge dominates this section of the northern Great Salt Lake shoreline, revealing a sophisticated network of managed wetlands and water controls. The map highlights an intricate system of interconnected marshes and lakes, such as Pintail Lake, Widgeon Lake, and Hull Lake, fed by man-made arteries like the Hull Canal. This hydrological landscape is shaped by specific water management features including Mollys Stocking, which directs flow through the expansive West Marsh. To the east and west, the terrain rises toward the Little Mtn and the Blue Spring Hills, providing a sharp contrast to the flat, saturated basin. Evidence of the region's deeper geological history is noted at the Fish Fossil Rocks near Vallery Bay, marking a significant point of interest for those studying the ancient lake bed's fossil record and the freshwater influence of Connor Springs.
