1954 Map of Granite Peak SE

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground occupies the eastern half of this terrain, showcasing the stark intersection of military infrastructure and the high desert landscape. The map reveals a transition from the level expanse of Mud Flat in the west to the ascending ridges of the northern Deep Creek range. The topographical detail is centered on Sapphire Mountain, where the military boundary cuts across the rugged slopes. This survey reflects the mid-century geographic record of Tooele County, illustrating how government boundaries and natural features like drainage basins and isolated peaks defined this sparsely populated region of the Great Salt Lake Desert.
