2010 Map of Silver Island Pass

About this map

Silver Island Pass serves as a geographic focus in this desert landscape, where the flat expanses of the Great Salt Lake Desert meet the rising terrain of the Silver Island Mountains. The area is defined by its isolation and the stark transit corridors that cross the salt flats. Two primary routes, Pilot Peak Rd and Silver Island Rd, navigate the periphery of the flats, providing essential access through this arid basin. The intermittent flow of Pilot Creek illustrates the transient nature of water in the region, appearing only during seasonal runoff before disappearing into the basin floor. This map captures the essential road network and drainage patterns that have dictated movement across this part of the Utah desert for decades.
