EXPLANATION

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife Resources, collected 

bathymetric data for the south part of Great Salt Lake during 2002–04 using a single beam, high-definition fathometer and real-time differential 

global positioning system. Approximately 7.6 million depth readings were collected along more than 1,050 miles of survey transects for 

construction of this map. Sound velocities were obtained in conjunction with the bathymetric data to provide time-of-travel corrections to the depth 

calculations. Data were processed with commercial hydrographic software and exported into geographic information system (GIS) software for 

mapping. Because of the shallow nature of the lake and the limitations of the instrumentation, contours above an altitude of 4,193 feet were 

digitized from existing USGS 1:24,000 source-scale digital line graph data.

For additional information on methods used to derive the bathymetric contours for this map, please see Baskin, Robert L., 2005, Calculation of 

area and volume for the south part of Great Salt Lake, Utah, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report OFR–2005–1327.
