About this map

The vast military corridors of the Tooele Army Depot and the eastern fringes of the Dugway Proving Ground dominate this 1970s landscape, reflecting the strategic importance of the Utah desert during the Cold War. Between the peaks of the Onaqui Mountains and the Oquirrh Mountains, the basin is dotted with historic mining and railroad history. Small settlements like Ophir and Mercur sit in the canyons of the Oquirrhs, while the Union Pacific line serves valley stations such as St John Station.
