1973 Map of Knolls 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The expansive Hill Air Force Range dominates this landscape in the early 1970s, illustrating the military's extensive footprint in the Great Salt Lake Desert. Straddling the border of Box Elder Co and Tooele Co, the terrain is defined by its extreme uniformity and environmental severity. The surface consists primarily of a wide Mud Flat, a geological feature that reflects the prehistoric lakebed history of the region. This orthophotomap, derived from 1972 aerial photography, provides a literal visual record of the ground texture, revealing subtle variations in the salt and silt crust. Apart from the designated military range and the prominent topographic rise known simply as Hill, the area remains largely devoid of human infrastructure or permanent settlements, emphasizing the isolation required for strategic defense operations during this era.
