2011 Map of Rozel Point

About this map

Rozel Point projects into the northern waters of the Great Salt Lake, defining a stark geographical boundary where the lake divides into Rozel Bay and Gunnison Bay. This 2011 survey captures the remote coastline of Box Elder County, showing the vast transition from the elevated Rozel Hills down to the low-lying Rozel Flat. The terrain is characterized by its isolation and the shifting shoreline of the hypersaline lake. While the map is sparse of traditional settlements or infrastructure, it serves as a precise record of the shoreline and topographical contours during a period of modern hydrological monitoring. It provides a baseline for researchers and environmental historians studying the North Arm of the lake, where the unique chemistry and water levels create a landscape unlike any other in the Great Basin.
