About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates the northern reaches of this territory, where the waters of Clyman Bay and Gunnison Bay meet the shoreline near Strongs Knob. This arid landscape is defined by the stark transition from the lake bed to the sharp elevations of the Lakeside Mountains. The terrain here is marked by distinctive geological formations such as Lakeside Butte, Twin Hills, and Gunsight Point, creating a complex topography of ridges and basins.

A significant portion of the southeastern quadrangle is occupied by the Hill Air Force Base range, indicating the modern military utility of this remote area. Navigational landmarks like The Threshold and The Horseshoe sit alongside descriptive, often ominous place names such as Death Valley and Death Ridge. This 2011 survey provides a clear view of the road networks crossing through Sedal Pass and along Sedal Valley, serving as a vital record for those studying the intersection of public land and military restricted zones in Box Elder County.
