1953 Map of Dugway Range NE

About this map

The high peaks of the Dugway Range dominate this 1950s survey, marking a stark division between the elevated terrain and the surrounding arid basin. The map captures an environment defined by limited water resources, where survival and movement depended on specific points like Fandangle Well and the Dugway Topaz Well. A network of jeep trails and pedestrian trails provides the only evidence of human passage through the steep topography of Fandangle Canyon. In the lower elevations to the south and east, features such as Monument Reservoir and Pismire Wash illustrate the drainage patterns of this high desert landscape. The sheet also records the administrative boundary between Tooele Co and Juab Co, which cuts directly across the southern slopes of the range.
