2017 Map of West of Big Pass

About this map

The Newfoundland Evaporation Basin dominates this desolate landscape in Tooele County, Utah, illustrating a massive industrial or natural salt-crust terrain. The area is defined by the grid lines of the Public Land Survey System, specifically within the townships of t5n r15w, t4n r15w, and t3n r15w, showing a region largely devoid of conventional settlements or infrastructure. The vast, flat expanse of the basin suggests a focus on mineral extraction or environmental monitoring, where the lack of roads and landmarks highlights the extreme isolation of this part of the Great Salt Lake Desert.
