1954 Map of Dugway Proving Ground NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this 1954 topographic study of the Tooele County desert, a landscape shaped by military activity and sparse infrastructure. The map details a network of functional transit routes that crisscross the arid flats, including Falconer Road in the northwest, Stark Road in the southwest, and the long stretch of Goodyear Road. These tracks provide access across an otherwise featureless terrain, occasionally marked by survey markers such as Gpi-3 and a series of bench marks like Bm 4301 and Bm 4297. To the south, the basin is defined by the wide expanse of Dry Lake, a seasonal feature typical of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The precise recording of elevation points and these isolated roads offers a clear view of the area's geography shortly after its establishment as a primary military testing site.
