2017 Map of Salduro SW

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 2017 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its stark geological and cadastral regularity. This particular section of the basin shows the intersection of several townships, including t2s r19w, t2s r18w, t3s r18w, t3s r19w, t4s r19w, and t4s r18w. The map illustrates the minimal elevation changes and precise Public Land Survey System grid that characterizes this remote part of Tooele County. For those researching the history of land management and surveying in the American West, the map provides a clear record of how the desert floor was divided into townships and sections, even in areas largely devoid of permanent settlements or infrastructure.
