2023 Map of Arinosa SW

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 2023 survey of Tooele County, revealing a landscape defined by extreme topography and limited accessibility. This vast expanse of the northern Utah desert is almost entirely occupied by the Utah Test and Training Range, a restricted military area that underscores the region's modern role in defense and aerospace operations. The map provides a precise layout of the public land survey system grid across a terrain that is largely devoid of traditional settlements, roads, or water features, reflecting the harsh environmental conditions of the salt flats. For researchers and historians, this document offers a definitive look at the administrative boundaries and military land use that currently shape this corner of the Great Basin.
