About this map

Michael Army Airfield serves as a central hub in this section of the Dugway Proving Ground (Restricted Area), illustrating the intense military development within the Great Salt Lake Desert during the late twentieth century. The map details a landscape defined by both massive natural features and specialized technical installations, including the Ditto Area, Avery Technical Center, and the Carr Facility.

Transport through this high-security zone is facilitated by a network of named routes such as Burns Road and Stark Road, which cut through the shifting terrain of Sand Dunes and the drainage of Government Creek. The southern boundary is anchored by the rising elevation of Camels Back Ridge, while the northeast corner is dominated by the Cedar Mts. This survey captures a moment when defense operations and desert geology coexisted, from the industrial Sewage Disposal sites to the remote Alkali Flat.
