1993 Map of Granite Peak

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this remote high-desert landscape in Tooele County, where military operations and isolation define the terrain. The sheet is anchored by the prominent rise of Granite Peak, which stands in stark contrast to the surrounding Mud Flat. This contrast highlights the geographical isolation of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where mountain islands rise abruptly from expansive salt and mud plains. Industrial and military utility is evident in the inclusion of a Landing Strip and specialized transportation routes such as Goodyear Road, Falconer Road, and Stark Road. Scattered Gravel Pits and a solitary Spring offer sparse but vital evidence of human presence and basic resource extraction in an environment primarily shaped by its role as a restricted testing and training site.
