2014 Map of South of Keller Well

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, showing the stark salt flats as they appeared in 2014. In the northwest corner, the southern tip of the Newfoundland Mountains provides a distinct topographic break from the surrounding level terrain. This area is characterized by heavy industrial salt management, centered on the expansive Newfoundland Evaporation Basin. The map illustrates the grid-like township and range system that overlays this remote section of the desert, where natural landforms and massive human-engineered basins intersect in a region defined by extreme aridity and brine-based industry.
