1973 Map of Knolls SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Wendover Air Force Range occupies a significant portion of this Great Salt Lake Desert landscape, reflecting the mid-20th-century expansion of military training grounds in the American West. This 1973 orthophotomap combines traditional topographic contours with aerial imagery to document a volatile environment of Shifting Sand and extensive Mud Flat areas. The absence of traditional settlements or infrastructure highlights the isolation of this corner of Tooele County, where the terrain itself is the primary subject. The intricate patterns of the dunes, clearly visible through the orthophoto base, illustrate the wind-driven nature of the Great Basin's interior, providing a stark record of a geography defined by extreme aridity and military utility.
