The West Desert Test Center occupies the central expanse of this 2023 survey, illustrating the specialized military and research footprint in Tooele County. Located within the arid Dugway Valley, the landscape is defined by its geological history rather than human settlement, most notably the winding path of the Old River Bed that cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This feature is a remnant of the ancient Lake Bonneville, reflecting the deep-time drainage patterns of the Great Basin. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of the rugged Stark Rd in the northwest and various seasonal drainages like Pismire Wash. The map serves as a contemporary record of this restricted desert environment, where the topography of the valley floor meets the tactical requirements of a modern testing range.
