1954 Map of Dugway Proving Ground NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Baker Area sits at the intersection of desert survival and mid-century military operations within the Dugway Proving Ground. This 1954 survey by the Geological Survey documents a landscape defined by movement through shifting Sand Dunes, where the isolation of the Tooele County desert is pierced only by a sparse network of military routes. Tactical mobility is reflected in the placement of Goodyear Road and Stark Road, which cut straight lines across the basin floor. The reliance on remote outposts is evidenced by a lone Well and numerous survey markers, such as BM 4301 and BM 4307, which served as the precise benchmarks for mapping this high-altitude desert terrain before the advent of modern satellite systems.
