1955 Map of Willard Spur

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Bear River Bay and the northern reaches of the Great Salt Lake dominate this mid-century topographic study of the Utah shoreline. The landscape is defined by the shifting boundaries of water and earth, where the Willard Spur extends into the bay. Grounded in data from June 1951, the map records an water surface elevation of 4200 feet, providing a baseline for the fluctuating lake levels of the era. The eastern edge transition from the marshy Mud Flat to the expansive Salt Flat, anchored by the distinct rise of Little Mtn in the southeast corner. This survey documents the approximate boundary between Box Elder and Weber counties as it cuts through the open flats, offering a clear view of the natural geography before subsequent decades of shoreline management and regional development.
