1973 Map of Aragonite SW

About this map

The Wendover Air Force Range dominates this orthophotomap of the Tooele County desert, showcasing a landscape defined by military utility and harsh natural terrain. Produced in the early 1970s using aerial photography, the imagery captures the shifting patterns of Sand Dunes and the stark expanse of a Mud Flat that interrupt the arid basin. This map is an orthophotomosaic, which overlays traditional topographic contour lines directly onto photographic imagery to provide an exceptionally clear view of ground conditions and vegetation patterns as they existed in 1972. The boundaries of several townships, including T 2 S T 3 S and T 3 S T 4 S, are delineated across the desert floor, marking the intersection of public land surveys within this remote testing and training environment.
