1954 Map of Granite Peak SE

About this map

The vast, arid expanse of Tooele County is defined by its transition from high desert terrain to restricted military zones in this mid-century survey. The prominent Sapphire Mountain stands as a focal landmark in the eastern portion of the sheet, providing a stark topographical contrast to the surrounding flats. Much of the landscape is dominated by the overlapping boundaries of the Dugway Proving Ground and the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range, reflecting the area's critical role in Cold War-era defense operations. This map serves as a precise record of the road networks and township lines, including the junction of T. 8 S. and T. 9 S. and R. 14 W. and R. 13 W., which guided the management of these remote military installations.
