1954 Map of Camels Back Ridge NW

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground military infrastructure dominates this mid-century desert landscape, illustrating the cold war expansion of isolated testing facilities. The map centers on the Dog Area, a concentrated network of buildings and tanks served by a strict grid of military roads including Goodyear Road and Stark Road. To the north and east, vast Sand Dunes sweep toward the base of the Cedar Mts, while Government Creek cuts a narrow path through the arid terrain. The remote outposts of Able Area and Charlie Area are linked by a specialized transportation network, including the Landing Field and several primitive roads like Peter Charlie Road. In the south, the prominent Camels Back Ridge rises abruptly, providing a stark topographical anchor to the otherwise undulating dune fields.
