1983 Map of Sally Mountain

About this map

The Hill Air Force Range dominates the basin between two prominent desert ranges in this 1983 study of northwestern Utah. This specialized military landscape is characterized by its infrastructure for aviation and logistics, featuring multiple Heliports and a secondary Heliport alongside an extensive Aqueduct system that cuts across the arid floor. The terrain transitions abruptly from these installations into the steep ridges of the Lakeside Mountains and the Sally Mountain Mountains, where a Radio Tower marks a high point above Wrathall Pass. Numerous Gravel Pit operations are scattered across the alluvial fans at the base of the mountains, indicating active material extraction. This map captures the intersection of industrial mining and military defense operations in a remote section of Box Elder and Toole Counties during the early 1980s.
