Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this section of Tooele County, presenting a landscape defined by extreme topography and modern federal land use. The vast expanse of salt flats is largely occupied by the Utah Test and Training Range, a restricted military area that underscores the region's historical role in aerospace and defense testing. This survey captures the stark isolation of the West Desert, where the absence of civilian settlements or infrastructure reflects the intentional preservation of the flats for specialized government operations. The map provides a precise record of the section lines and boundaries that divide this ostensibly featureless terrain, offering a specialized look at how the Great Salt Lake Desert is managed and utilized by the Department of the Interior and the Department of Defense.
