| Great Salt Lake, Utah: The largest salt lake in the Western Hemisphere, The Great Salt Lake, was 20 times the size of the present lake at the end of the last Ice Age. Ancient Lake Bonneville covered portions of three states, Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and drained via the present day Snake and Columbia Rivers into the Pacific Ocean. As seen in the east-looking view, today's Great Salt Lake is bounded to the east by the rugged Wasatch Range (upper portion of the image). To the west, is the Great Salt Lake Desert (bottom center of the image) once the lake bottom of the former Lake Bonneville. The Great Salt Lake is divided by an east to west railroad causeway. |
