1973 Map of East of Goshute Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this 1973 orthophotomap, showing a desolate stretch of the Utah desert as it functioned during the late Cold War era. This specialized topographic study uses aerial imagery to document the vast, shifting expanse of Mud Flat terrain that characterizes this portion of Tooele County. Because the landscape lacks permanent settlements or significant vegetation, the map relies on precise benchmarks like BM 4244 and BM 4243 for orientation within the military reservation. The imagery captures the subtle textures of the salt flats and desert floor, providing a raw visual record of a restricted landscape defined by its remote location and strategic isolation. This document is particularly valuable for understanding the physical state of the Great Salt Lake Desert before modern digital mapping techniques replaced traditional orthophotomosaic production.
