2014 Map of Willard Spur

About this map

Bear River Bay and the northern reaches of the Great Salt Lake dominate this 2014 geographic study of the interface between Utah’s saline waters and the marshy inlets of the Bear River delta. The survey highlights the vast aquatic expanse of Willard Spur, a significant hydrological feature situated within the larger bay system. The landscape is defined by its low-lying, often submerged character, where water levels dictate the shifting shoreline. In the southeastern corner of the map, the terrain rises at Little Mtn, providing a rare point of elevation overlooking the surrounding wetlands. This particular survey is notable for its depiction of the administrative boundary dividing Box Elder and Weber counties as it cuts diagonally across the open water and mudflats.
