About this map

The Southern Pacific Causeway cuts across the northern desert landscape of Box Elder County, Utah, anchoring a corridor of industrial and transit history. This 2014 survey focuses on the stark geography west of the Great Salt Lake, where the Strongknob railroad alignment parallels the massive earthen causeway. The terrain is defined by dramatic rises and depressions, from the high points of Strongs Knob and the Lakeside Mountains to the low reaches of Clyman Bay and the descriptive Death Valley.

Transport routes like Lakeside Rd and Scad Ridge Rd navigate the base of prominent landmarks such as Lakeside Butte and Gunsight Point. Geologic and localized features, including The Horseshoe, Homestead Knoll, and Sedal Pass, provide essential reference points in this arid expanse. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure required to traverse the Great Salt Lake's western margins, where rail engineering meets an unforgiving environment.
