2020 Map of West of Miners Basin

About this map

Newfoundland Evaporation Basin dominates this desolate stretch of Box Elder County, illustrating the stark industrial and environmental interface of Utah's salt flats. Located in the West of Miners Basin area, the map reveals the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System against a landscape primarily defined by hydrology rather than settlement. The presence of this basin indicates the region's specialized utility for mineral extraction or evaporation processes in the early 21st century. With very few named landmarks beyond this massive water feature, the topography is characterized by subtle elevation changes across a seemingly endless expanse, providing a clear record of the area's specialized geography.
