1972 Map of Elephant Knoll NE

About this map

The Wendover Air Force Range dominates this orthophotomap of Tooele County, representing a landscape defined by military utility and geological extremes. The vast expanse of Alkali or Mud flats illustrates the remote, arid character of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where the lack of vegetation or natural drainage creates a nearly featureless surface. This 1970s survey captures the area during a period of ongoing military testing and training, providing a precise record of a territory where very few permanent markers exist beyond established boundary lines and isolated benchmarks. The absence of roads or cultural developments outside of military designations highlights the isolation of this specialized landscape, which remains one of the most physically challenging environments in the American West.
