     that's my nominee also!
 
     Clearly it is meant as a filler for folks mosaicing [sp?] these Gt
     Salt Lake sheets together, but on its own, the quad is a hoot!
 
     I first saw it on a bulletin board in the Geography Dept. at Hunter
     College, City University of New York.

While the Machias Seal Island South quad is towards the top as far as
minimalism is concerned, I nominate Rozel Point SW, Utah
(41112-C6-TF-024) as the candidate for first prize. It is nothing but a
great blue slab, with only the labels 'Great Salt Lake',
'Elevation 4200' and 'Gunnison Bay' emblazoned, somewhat sheepishly, in
the middle. Looks like the title page of a book! We proudly display this
curiosity on the wall of our Map Room. Perhaps a bathymetric version
 will come out some day . . .
