1973 Map of North of Barro

About this map

Utah Test and Training Range North dominates the northern expanse of this Tooele County orthophotomap, showing the stark intersection of military infrastructure and the Great Salt Lake Desert. The landscape is defined by a massive Mud Flat, where the orthophoto imagery captures the subtle textures of the dry lake bed and the precise Military Reservation Boundary that carves through the open terrain. Produced from 1972 aerial photography, this survey serves as a visual record of a high-security desert environment, where the surveyor's Base Line provides a rare point of reference in an otherwise featureless and unforgiving basin. The orthophoto format reveals the literal ground truth of the training range during the early 1970s, highlighting the isolation and strategic scale of these federal lands.
