2011 Map of Wendover SE

About this map

Blue Lake and Salt Springs anchor the southeastern corner of this arid landscape, revealing a rare cluster of perennial water features in the Great Salt Lake Desert. The terrain is largely defined by the expansive salt flats and playa characteristic of the region, where drainage patterns like Felt Wash cut through the western edge of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey illustrates the stark hydrologic boundary where the desert floor meets the localized wetlands near the state border, documenting the distribution of these spring-fed pools as they appeared in the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of the natural hydrology and the primitive road network that navigates this remote environment, serving as a point of reference for understanding the seasonal and permanent water sources in this section of Tooele County.
