2020 Map of South of Keller Well

About this map

The Newfoundland Mountains rise in the northwest corner of this quadrangle, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding salt flats. Located within Tooele County, the area is dominated by the sprawling expanse of the Great Salt Lake Desert, a landscape defined by its extreme aridity and topographical uniformity. To the south of the mountain range, the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin marks the low-lying terrain, illustrating the industrial and natural hydrology of this remote section of the eastern Great Basin. This survey documents the intersection of these stark geological formations with the vast, ancient lakebed remnants that characterize the region.
