2017 Map of South of Arinosa SW

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 2017 survey of Tooele County, Utah, where the arid landscape is defined by its extreme flatness and lack of surface features. The map illustrates the vast, unyielding character of the western desert, where surveyor lines of the Public Land Survey System—including t4s r17w, t4s r16w, t5s r17w, and t5s r16w—provide the only markers of human organization across the salt-crusted terrain. This specific sheet captures a section of the salt flats before any major infrastructure or significant development altered the natural topography, serving as a clean record of one of North America's most singular environments.
