1993 Map of Dugway Proving Ground SE

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground occupies the vast majority of this arid landscape, characterized by its isolation and the winding remains of the Old River Bed. This geographical feature, a dry channel snaking through the desert floor, provides a stark contrast to the surrounding terrain of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The map's sparse human footprint is defined by utility and military function, marked by a Tower and the solitary Granite Peak Road crossing the northern section. Compiled from 1953 imagery and updated in the 1990s, the survey documents the land's transition from mid-century military surveillance to late-twentieth-century management. The complex topographic contours reveal a landscape of subtle elevations and dry drainage patterns that have shaped military testing operations in this Tooele County region.
