2023 Map of Finger Ridge

About this map

The Utah Test and Training Range dominates this portion of the Great Salt Lake Desert, a stark landscape defined by vast alkali flats and military activity. Situated within Tooele Co, the quadrangle illustrates a transition from the salt desert floor to the elevated terrain of the eastern border. Here, the distinct topographical feature known as Finger Ridge rises sharply, its contours defining the local relief against the adjacent Ripple Valley. The map highlights a lack of civilian infrastructure, reflecting the area's specialized use for training and testing missions in one of the most remote stretches of the American West.
