2020 Map of Salduro

About this map

Bonneville Salt Flats dominate this landscape within the larger Great Salt Lake Desert in western Utah. The terrain is defined by its extreme flatness, a remnant of a prehistoric lake bed that has left behind a vast expanse of evaporite minerals. This modern survey shows how transportation infrastructure cuts through this unique geological environment, primarily via the corridor of Interstate 80. Near the northern edge of the map lies Salduro, a location historically significant for its salt production and its position as a siding on the railroad. The stark geometry of the Public Land Survey System grid lines provides the only other markers across this otherwise open and feature-sparse desert basin.
