Promontory Point, Utah


Promontory Point is an ghost town in Box Elder County, Utah, United States, that is located about northeast of Promontory Point.

Description

The site is where the Lucin Cutoff intersects the east coast of the peninsula formed where the Promontory Mountains project into the northern Great Salt Lake. The cutoff passes north of the cape and continues west to Saline, where the cutoff leaves the peninsula.
The unincorporated community of Promontory and its location, Promontory Summit, are both frequently referred to as "Promontory Point". Promontory Summit is the site where the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed and is located about north-northwest of Promontory Point, near the north end of the Promontory Mountains.
