1991 Map of Round Mountain SW

About this map

Utah Test and Training Range North dominates this landscape, reflecting the intensive mid-to-late 20th-century military utilization of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The terrain is characterized by expansive stretches of Mud flats, punctuated by the rugged rising elevations of the Grassy Mountains in the southeastern corner. An Observation Tower situated near the border of Box Elder Co and Tooele Co serves as a lone structural landmark in an area otherwise defined by its specialized use for defense testing. This survey captures a specific environment where natural topographical barriers and remote alkaline flats are partitioned by the Military Reservation Boundary, illustrating the intersection of natural isolation and national security requirements during the Cold War era.
