1953 Map of Dugway Range NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Rainbow Mines and the Four Metal Mine anchor the northern slopes of the Dugway Range in this 1953 survey, capturing the industrial footprint of the Tooele and Juab county border. The landscape is defined by its mining operations, with numerous Prospects, Shafts, and Tunnels scattered through the high elevations near Castle Mountain. Below these peaks, the terrain drops sharply into the expansive Fish Springs Flat, a stark contrast to the complex topography of Cannon Canyon and Buckhorn Canyon. Water sources are few and vital in this arid environment, evidenced by labels for Kellys Hole and Well No 28. The proximity of the Dugway Proving Ground to the north, noted in the margins, suggests the strategic and isolated nature of this section of the Great Salt Lake Desert during the early Cold War era.
