1973 Map of Gold Hill 1 SW

About this map

Mud Flat dominates this 1973 orthophotomosaic, revealing the stark and specialized landscape of Tooele County during the Cold War. The sheet is defined by its military boundaries, split between the Wendover Air Force Range to the north and the Dugway Proving Ground to the south. This terrain, mapped via photogrammetric methods, shows the expansive, featureless basins used for testing and training. The absence of traditional settlements or infrastructure highlights the extreme isolation of these desert tracts, where land management was dictated entirely by the Department of Defense. Researchers of military history can trace the precise demarcations of these restricted zones across the arid interior of the Great Salt Lake Desert.
