1973 Map of Granite Peak SW

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this 1973 orthophotomap of the Great Salt Lake Desert, providing a high-altitude visual record of the restricted military landscape in Tooele County. The terrain is characterized almost entirely by the expansive Mud Flat, where the lack of vegetation or conventional drainage patterns creates a stark, textured surface in the aerial photography. This specific map serves as a snapshot of the installation during the early 1970s, though it was re-verified and updated with minor revisions in the mid-1990s. Beyond the township and range boundaries marking the cadastral survey lines for R 15 W R 14 W and T 8 S T 9 S, there is no human settlement or infrastructure shown, emphasizing the isolation of this high-security government test site.
