2020 Map of Silsbee

About this map

The Bonneville Salt Flats dominate this landscape within the larger Great Salt Lake Desert in Tooele County. This region is world-renowned for its unique geology, which provides the flat, hardened surface necessary for the International Racetrack located in the northern portion of the map. Settlement is concentrated along the western edge near Wendover, while smaller named locales such as Blair and Silsbee mark points along the primary transportation corridor that traverses the salt crust. The map illustrates the stark geography of the basin, where the interstate and rail lines cut a straight path across the expansive white terrain, highlighting the area's role as a critical transit point between the salt flats and the more rugged mountains to the west.
