1991 Map of Willard Spur

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Bear River Bay and the Willard Spur dominate this landscape where the freshwater of the Bear River meets the hypersaline waters of the Great Salt Lake. The map reveals an industrial shoreline defined by extensive Salt Evaporators and an intricate network of Pumping Stations and a Flume, illustrating the human engineering required to extract minerals from the lake. In the southeastern corner, the prominence of Little Mountain provides a base for the Air Force Training Annex, complete with dedicated Heliports. This late-twentieth-century survey captures the intersection of military utility and salt production, showing how the wetlands and mudflats of the northeastern lake were adapted for specialized industrial and tactical purposes.
