1972 Map of Elephant Knoll NE

About this map

Alkali or Mud terrain dominates this 1972 orthophotomap, showing the stark, desolate character of the Utah salt flats within the Wendover Air Force Range. Produced from aerial photography, the map reveals a landscape defined by expansive salt crusts and seasonal mud, largely devoid of roads or settlements. Several survey markers, including BM 4226 and BM 4228, provide the only fixed points of reference across the uniform surface. This specialized imagery highlights the intersection of military training space and the unique geological formations of the Tooele County desert during the early 1970s.
