2017 Map of Silsbee

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert defines the stark landscape of this Tooele County survey, where the expanse of the Bonneville Salt Flats meets the industrial and transport infrastructure of the high desert. Along the northern edge of the map, the settlements of Wendover, Blair, and Silsbee follow the corridor of Interstate 80. This area is globally recognized for the International Racetrack, situated within the salt flats, which has served as a focal point for high-speed trials and automotive testing for decades. The grid-like survey lines of t1s r19w and t1s r18w contrast with the fluid, shimmering boundaries of the salt crust, illustrating the intersection of human engineering and one of North America's most unique geological environments.
