Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 2014 survey, offering a precise view of one of the most stark and desolate landscapes in North America. Located in Tooele County, the map provides a grid-based study of the salt flats as they appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by extreme flatness, with subtle contour variations noted only at the 10-foot interval. This sheet serves as a clear record of the Public Land Survey System divisions, delineating townships such as t3s r19w and t2s r18w. The absence of roads, structures, or named water bodies highlights the inhospitable nature of this portion of the desert, where the vast salt crust remains the primary geographic feature.
