About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this 1970s orthophotomap, showing the stark, expansive landscape of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The terrain is characterized by a nearly featureless Mud Flat, where the orthophotomosaic technique reveals the subtle textures of the dry lake bed that traditional contour lines alone might miss. This military installation, established during World War II, remains one of the most secluded and controlled environments in the United States. The map's minimalist detail reflects the geographic isolation of the region, emphasizing the vast, open stretches of alkali flats and the absence of civilian settlements or infrastructure within this restricted high-desert corridor.
