2014 Map of South of Arinosa SE

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 2014 survey of Tooele County, Utah, providing a detailed look at the expansive, low-relief terrain of the eastern Basin and Range. The map is primarily characterized by the vast salt flats and minimalist topography typical of this arid region, where elevation contours are sparse and subtle. Surveyed during the early 21st century, the sheet documents the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid structure across t4s r16w, t4s r15w, t5s r16w, and t5s r15w, illustrating how the desert landscape was systematically partitioned. Without permanent settlements or roads, the map serves as a stark record of one of North America’s most distinctive geological environments, highlighting the sheer scale of the desert floor and its occasional island-like rises.
