2017 Map of Silver Island Pass

About this map

Silver Island Pass serves as the focal point of this western Utah survey, carving a path through the southern reaches of the Silver Island Mountains. The map reveals a dramatic transition from the high, topographic relief of the mountains down to the flat, expansive floor of the Great Salt Lake Desert. This arid landscape is marked by the intermittent drainage of Pilot Cr, which flows toward the desert floor from the northwest. Human presence is sparse, indicated primarily by two utilitarian routes: Fenceline Rd, which tracks across the northern flats, and Campbell Rd to the east. The township and range boundaries of t3n r18w and t2n r18w provide the cadastral framework for this corner of Tooele County, where the terrain is dominated by salt flats and geological formations rather than permanent settlements.
