1955 Map of Camels Back Ridge SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Old River Bed carves a distinct path through this section of the Great Salt Lake Desert, marking the ancient course where water once flowed between prehistoric lake basins. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape defined by isolation and military utility, as a significant portion of the territory falls within the Dugway Proving Ground. The prominent elevation of Camels Back Ridge and the volcanic formations of the Simpson Buttes rise above the surrounding Sand Dunes, providing critical landmarks in an otherwise shifting environment. Human activity is sparse but specialized, evidenced by scattered Quarries and a network of Jeep Trails that negotiate the sandy terrain, reflecting the area's mid-1950s role as a remote testing and resource site.
