About this map

The Promontory Mountains dominate the western edge of this landscape in Box Elder County, where steep drainage basins like Big Canyon, Davis Canyon, and South Canyon descend toward the salt flats and wetlands to the east. This 2011 survey captures the area's rural character, defined by a sparse network of county routes including N East Promontory Rd and 6800 N Rd.

Hydrological features are central to the terrain, with Blue Creek entering from the north and a complex system of marshes and mudflats extending across the eastern half of the quadrangle. These wetlands represent the fluctuating shoreline environment typical of the Great Salt Lake region, showing how the local infrastructure, such as 17000 W Rd, navigates the transition between the high mountain slopes and the basin floor.
