1973 Map of Salduro SE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The harsh, salt-crusted expanse of the Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 1973 orthophotomap of the Tooele County region. The terrain is primarily defined as Alkali Or Mud, a flat and unforgiving environment where seasonal moisture and mineral deposits create a shifting, low-relief surface. This specific area falls within the massive Wendover Air Force Range, a Cold War-era military testing ground that utilized these remote basins for various maneuvers and ballistics testing. Evidence of human passage is sparse, limited to a lonely Jeep Trail that cuts through the southwestern corner, likely used for range maintenance or mineral exploration. The map's photographic base clearly shows the marbled patterns of the salt flats, offering a rare visual record of the desert floor before subsequent environmental shifts and military activity altered the surface textures.
