<P> Several pluvial lakes formed in what is now the southwestern United States during the glaciation of the late Pleistocene . One of these was Lake Bonneville in western Utah , which covered roughly 19,000 square miles ( 49,000 km ) . When Lake Bonneville was at its maximum water level , it was 1,000 feet ( 300 m ) higher than the Great Salt Lake . </P>
