Great Salt Lake Desert dominates the eastern landscape of this 2018 survey, where the arid basin floor of Tooele Co meets the Nevada state line. This borderland region is characterized by the stark transition from the alluvial fans of the Pilot Range to the expansive salt flats of the ancient Lake Bonneville bed. To the south, the presence of Blue Lake provides a rare perennial water feature in an otherwise parched environment, while Felt Wash drains the western slopes toward the desert floor. The map meticulously documents the Public Land Survey System grid, showing the intersection of several townships including t31n r70e and t4s r19w, which are essential for identifying specific historical land parcels and grazing allotments along the interstate boundary.
