1993 Map of Gold Hill Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates the eastern expanse of this Tooele County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into a vast Mud Flat. This 1993 revision, based on imagery dating back to 1973, reveals a landscape defined by ephemeral drainage patterns and military restricted space. The western half of the sheet is marked by the winding courses of Gold Hill Wash and Rodenhouse Wash, which channel seasonal runoff from the higher elevations toward the salt-crusted basin floor. The minimal human development recorded here reflects the area's specialized use for military testing and its challenging environmental conditions. Geographers and historians can trace the specific boundaries between the public domain and the proving ground as they existed in the late twentieth century, noting the precise contour intervals that define the subtle relief of the Great Basin desert floor.
