1968 Map of Rozel Point

About this map

Rozel Point Oil Field sits at the southern tip of a distinctive peninsula where the Rozel Hills meet the northern reaches of the Great Salt Lake. This 1968 field-checked survey documents a landscape defined by the shifting interface of water and earth, dominated by an extensive Mud Flat and the adjacent Rozel Flat. The presence of a Seep and an Airway Beacon atop the ridges highlights the remote industrial and navigational utility of this Box Elder County coastline during the late 1960s. The map records the lake's elevation at 4,193 feet as of November 1966, providing a specific hydrological benchmark for the area surrounding Rozel Point before subsequent lake level fluctuations altered the shoreline.
