1973 Map of North of Gold Hill Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground and the Wendover Air Force Range dominate this expansive 1973 orthophotomap of the Utah desert. The landscape is characterized by a nearly featureless expanse of Mud Flat, where the lack of human settlements or road networks highlights the area's isolation and its historical role as a restricted military testing and training zone. This orthophotomosaic, compiled from aerial photography, provides a literal visual record of the arid floor of the Great Salt Lake Desert within Tooele County. The absence of traditional topographic contours in favor of photographic detail allows for a precise examination of the natural drainage patterns and subtle changes in the alkaline surface that are often lost on conventional maps.
