1954 Map of Granite Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Granite Peak rises as a prominent landmark in the high desert of Tooele County, serving as the focal point for this mid-1950s survey. The landscape is defined by its role in Cold War military operations, with the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range and Dugway Proving Ground intersecting here. The map documents specialized infrastructure of the era, including a dedicated Landing Strip and the Gpi-2 site located at the northern edge of the peak's rising terrain. Transportation across this restricted area is limited to a handful of gravel and unimproved routes, such as Goodyear Road, Stark Road, and Falconer Road. The presence of Gravel Pits and a solitary Spring near the mountainside highlights the sparse resources found in this part of the Great Salt Lake Desert during a period of intense military testing and expansion.
