1969 Map of Rozel Point SW

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this 1969 hydrographic study, providing a rare technical look at the northern reaches of this saline landscape during a specific moment in the mid-1960s. Unlike standard topographic sheets, this map focuses on the water and the lakebed, recording an Elevation 4193 November 1966 benchmark. The data was synthesized from diverse sources, including soundings from the U.S. Naval Reserve and information from the Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey, illustrating the collaborative effort to track the shifting boundaries of the lake.
