1954 Map of Granite Peak

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground military infrastructure dominates this mid-century landscape within Tooele County. The topography is defined by the contrast between the high relief of Granite Peak and the expansive Mud Flat that surrounds it. Military activity is evidenced by the prominent Landing Strip and specialized landmarks such as Gpi-2, while the desert floor is crisscrossed by remote routes including Falconer Road and Goodyear Road. A isolated Spring at the base of the peak and scattered Gravel Pits indicate the limited natural resources and industrial extraction supporting the remote installations. This edition, updated in the early 1980s, captures the intersection of desert wilderness and strategic government operations.
