2017 Map of West of Wildcat Mountain SW

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, presenting a stark expanse defined by the vast remnants of an ancient lakebed. The geography is characterized by its extreme flatness and the absence of traditional landmarks or settlements, with the map serving primarily as a study in land division across the salt flats. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the grid system of sections and townships—including t5s r16w, t5s r15w, t6s r16w, and t6s r15w—provides the only structural framework over this desolate terrain. This 2017 study illustrates the enduring emptiness of the region, where the lack of roads or water features reflects the challenging environmental conditions of the interior basin.
