2014 Map of Spring Bay SW

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this aquatic landscape, providing a rare look at the shifting boundaries of Utah’s saline waters. The map focuses almost entirely on the interior hydrology of the lake, capturing the transition between Spring Bay at the northern edge and the northern reaches of Gunnison Bay at the southern margin. This survey is notable for its minimalism, showing the vast expanse of the lake surface without the typical terrestrial landmarks or contours found in more inland quadrangles. The absence of terrain data reflects the variable and shallow nature of the lake floor in this region, which remains an essential ecological and geographical study area for researchers tracking the Great Basin's water levels.
