The West Desert Test Center occupies the central portion of this Tooele County landscape, highlighting the significant military footprint in the region. This 2023 edition documents a desert environment defined by striking geologic formations, including the prominent Camels Back Ridge to the north and the cluster of Simpson Buttes to the east. The presence of the Old River Bed snaking through the southwestern corner provides a clear indication of the ancient hydrological history of the area, now a dry feature within the contemporary arid terrain. Transportation through this controlled space is limited to specific corridors such as Simpson Buttes Rd and the identified track Tcd2854, which navigate the wide gaps between the isolated rocky outcrops.
