2023 Map of North of Gold Hill Wash

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this Tooele County landscape, a stark expanse of alkaline flats and salt crusts within the Great Basin. This 2023 edition reflects the modern administrative status of this desolate terrain, partitioned for military operations within the Utah Test and Training Range. The southern portion of the sheet is occupied by the West Desert Test Center, a facility that emphasizes the area's continued role in high-security federal testing. This survey is defined by its lack of civilian infrastructure, focused instead on the topographic nuances of the desert floor and the specific boundaries of government-restricted land where public access is strictly regulated. The map serves as a contemporary record of a landscape preserved for strategic defense purposes rather than residential or agricultural settlement.
