1972 Map of Elephant Knoll NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Wendover Air Force Range dominates the northern half of this orthophotomap, showing the stark, functional landscape of this military installation in the early 1970s. The terrain is characterized by expansive stretches of Alkali or Mud, typical of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where the flat, mineral-crusted surface transitions into a complex network of drainage patterns to the south. Produced using photogrammetric methods from aerial photography taken in 1970, this sheet provides a photographic record of the land surface before subsequent environmental or developmental changes. The lack of permanent settlements or infrastructure within the quadrangle emphasizes the area's isolation and its primary utility for specialized military operations and land management.
