Great Salt Lake, UTAH - from Wasatch Mountains - 1941:  The Great Salt Lake (Shoshone: Ti'tsa-pa “Bad Water”) is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere and the eighth-largest terminal lake in the world.  It lies in the northern part of the U.S. state of Utah and has a substantial impact upon the local climate, particularly through lake-effect snow. It is a remnant of Lake Bonneville, a prehistoric body of water that covered much of western Utah.  The Wasatch Range  or Wasatch Mountains is a mountain range in the western United States that runs about 160 miles (260 km) from the Utah-Idaho border south to central Utah.  It is the western edge of the greater Rocky Mountains, and the eastern edge of the Great Basin region.  The northern extension of the Wasatch Range, the Bear River Mountains, extends just into Idaho, constituting all of the Wasatch Range in that state.  In the language of the native Ute people, Wasatch means "mountain pass" or "low pass over high range."  According to William Bright, the mountains were named for a Shoshoni leader who was named with the Shoshoni term wasattsi, meaning "blue heron".  In 1926, Cecil Alter quoted Henry Gannett from 1902, who said that the word meant "land of many waters," then posited, "the word is a common one among the Shoshones and is given to a berry basket" carried by women.  This Linen Era postcard, published in 1941, is in good condition.  Genuine Curteich-Chicago "C.T.
