Box Elder

The Great Salt Lake and the arid western desert shape much of Box Elder County—settlement and farming concentrate in the more watered valleys to the east and north. The Bear River crosses the county before reaching the lake, while Brigham City, the county seat, stands near the northern Wasatch Range. Along the lake’s northeastern shore, wetlands provide an important stopover for migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway. At Promontory Summit, Golden Spike National Historical Park commemorates the joining of the transcontinental railroad on 10 May 1869.
