1954 Map of Dugway Proving Ground SW

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Dugway Proving Ground military reservation dominates this 1954 landscape, where the flat desert basin meets the steep relief of the Dugway Range. This map records a remote corner of Tooele County during the Cold War era, showing the transition from the broad, open basin to the mineral-rich slopes where a tunnel and shaft suggest historical prospecting activity in the southern heights. Transportation is defined by functional utility, ranging from the established Stark Road in the north to a rugged Jeep Trail winding through the southern foothills. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of Government Well No 52 and the seasonal Dry Lake. The inclusion of Bullion Canyon points to the area's geological and perhaps mining history, while the sprawling military boundary underscores the mid-century expansion of government land use in the Utah desert.
