2023 Map of Silver Island Pass

About this map

Silver Island Pass serves as a critical topographical threshold within the Silver Island Mountains, where the elevation shifts toward the expansive floor of the Great Salt Lake Desert. This 2023 survey documents the stark hydrology of the region, specifically the intermittent course of Pilot Creek as it descends from the higher western terrain. The map captures the limited infrastructure of this Tooele County landscape, where unpaved corridors like Fenceline Rd and Campbell Rd navigate the edges of the salt flats. The transition from the rugged mountain contours to the level desert floor illustrates the isolation and specialized land use patterns typical of northwestern Utah's basin and range province.
