2023 Map of East of Goshute Wash

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert dominates the landscape of this portion of Tooele County, reflecting a stark and arid environment. The map shows the vast salt flats and the influence of government land use, most notably the West Desert Test Center which occupies a significant portion of the northern terrain. This survey provides a look at the precise section lines and topographic contours that define one of the most desolate regions in Utah, highlighting the intersection of military operations and the natural geography of the basin. The absence of traditional settlements or roads emphasizes the specialized nature of this area, focused on aerospace and defense testing within the basin's unique playa floor.
