2014 Map of Silver Island Pass

About this map

The Silver Island Mountains dominate the southern portion of this Tooele County survey, rising sharply from the surrounding flats. The namesake Silver Island Pass provides a transition through the peaks, while the vast expanse of the Great Salt Lake Desert stretches across the center and north. The landscape is defined by its arid character, with ephemeral drainage from Pilot Cr and the presence of basic infrastructure like Fenceline Rd and Campbell Rd. This map captures the intersection of desert salt flats and high mountain terrain in a remote corner of Utah near the Nevada border, detailing the section lines and topography of a region marked by its stark environmental extremes.
