2011 Map of Terrace Mountain West

About this map

Terrace Mountain stands as the primary topographical anchor in this arid region of Box Elder County, where the landscape is defined by the intermittent drainage patterns of the Great Basin. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse environment where seasonal water sources like Sand Wash and Watercress dictate the local geography. The hydrologic network is further detailed by the courses of Muddy Creek and Rosebud Creek, which flow toward the salt flats and wetlands visible in the southern half of the quadrangle. The lack of major infrastructure or settlements emphasizes the remote, natural state of the Great Salt Lake Desert fringe during this period.
