1993 Map of Granite Peak SW

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this high-desert landscape in Tooele County, capturing the austere geography of a military testing site in the late twentieth century. This terrain is characterized by a nearly featureless Mud Flat, where the lack of traditional landmarks, settlements, or infrastructure reflects the intentional isolation of this restricted zone. The map details subtle elevation changes across the flats with a precise five-foot contour interval, illustrating the vast, level reaches that make the area ideal for specialized military operations. Historically, this portion of the Great Salt Lake Desert serves as a physical record of the spatial requirements for Cold War-era defense and testing, remaining largely devoid of civilian development or agricultural markers.
