Silver Island Mountains dominate this 2017 survey, rising sharply from the surrounding white expanse of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The map records a landscape of extreme topographic contrast, where high points like Tetzlaff Peak, Rishel Peak, and Volcano Peak overlook the famously level Bonneville Salt Flats. This terrain is defined by its geological isolation and the specialized use of the desert floor, notably the International Racetrack cutting across the southeastern corner.
