About this map

The Utah Test and Training Range dominates this portion of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where military logistics and desolate landforms meet. The topography is defined by the isolated elevations of the Grayback Hills, which include the distinctively named Pinky Ridge and Thumb Ridge. These features rise sharply from the surrounding flats, creating a stark vertical contrast against the expansive white crust of the salt desert.

Surface infrastructure is largely utilitarian, consisting of numerous service routes such as Air Range Rd, Grayback Hills Dr North Rd, and Material Site Rd. These roads suggest a landscape primarily dedicated to government operations and resource management. To the east, the terrain transitions into Ripple Valley, illustrating the rhythmic alternation of ridge and basin characteristic of this region of Tooele County.
