2014 Map of West of Wildcat Mountain SW

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert dominates the landscape of this 2014 survey in Tooele County. The terrain is defined by its extreme flatness and lack of surface features, characteristic of the vast salt flats and prehistoric lake beds that occupy the western portion of Utah. The sparse contour lines and lack of established settlements or infrastructure underscore the isolation of this region. Instead of towns or roads, the map is primarily segmented by the Public Land Survey System, showing the transition between townships such as t5s r16w and t6s r15w. This document serves as a study in the geographic emptiness of the basin-and-range province before it meets more prominent topographic relief to the east.
