1955 Map of Camels Back Ridge NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this mid-century landscape in the high desert of Tooele County. The terrain is defined by the sweeping Sand Dunes to the west and the prominent peaks of Little Granite Mountain, Little Davis Mountain, and Davis Mtn rising from the basin floor. The map records a transition from traditional desert travel routes, like the Simpson Springs Road and various Jeep Trails, to military-specific infrastructure. Remote operations are evidenced by the Fox Area and Easy Area situated along Stark Road, while a lone Tunnel and scattered Gravel Pits suggest specialized construction or mining activities. The seasonal drainage of Government Creek provides a rare hydrologic marker in this arid expanse, where the northern heights of the Cedar Mountains meet the vast flats of the proving ground.
