About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this landscape, showing the complex interaction of water and industry along the salt-crusted shores. This orthophotomap details a network of private hunting grounds such as the Lake Front Duck Club and Utah Duck Club interspersed with large-scale industrial operations. The southeastern portion is marked by the sprawling Salt Evaporators and the Tailings Pond, indicating the region's intensive mineral extraction history. Inland, an intricate system of water management is visible through features like the Goggin Drain, Consolidated Canal, and Brighton Drain. The area's transit and communication infrastructure is documented by the Salt Lake Garfield and Western railroad and the Radio Towers (KSL), while the iconic Saltair resort location sits near the transition from alkali flats to the open water.
