1954 Map of Dugway Proving Ground SE

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this 1954 topographic record, which captures a specific desert landscape used for military operations in the mid-20th century. The terrain is defined by the remnants of the Riverbed, a geological feature that cuts through the quadrangle and serves as a natural corridor for the Old Riverbed Trail. While much of the land is categorized for military use, the presence of various tracks, including Granite Peak Rd and numerous Jeep Trail segments, illustrates the essential transport network required to navigate this portion of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The map's detail focuses on elevation and drainage patterns rather than civilian settlements, reflecting the specialized nature of the installation during this era.
