About this map

Gunnison Bay defines the majority of this aquatic landscape in the northwestern portion of the Great Salt Lake. This specific quadrant is characterized by an absence of terrestrial features, focusing instead on the expansive water levels of the hypersaline basin in Box Elder County. The mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the state of the lake's northern arm during the early twenty-first century, providing a clear boundary for the hydrographic extent of the bay. Researchers and historians can use this data to study the environmental shifting of the shoreline and water distribution across this section of the inland sea, where the lack of human infrastructure or terrain contours emphasizes the vastness of the water body itself.
