1973 Map of Knolls 2 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Hill Air Force Range dominates this orthophotomap, showing the stark intersection of military infrastructure and the extreme terrain of the Great Salt Lake Desert in the early 1970s. The landscape is characterized by extensive Mud Flat areas that surround the southern reaches of the Newfoundland Mountains. This survey, created from 1972 aerial photography, uses a photographic base to reveal the subtle textures of the salt flats and the sharp relief of the desert ranges. The boundary between Box Elder Co and Tooele Co cuts across the northern section, marking a remote administrative divide in a region defined by its isolation and use as a military testing and training ground. The intricate drainage patterns and salt crusts visible on the Mud Flat provide a clear view of the hydrological character of the basin before later seasonal changes.
