The Simpson Springs Pony Express Station serves as the central historical anchor of this desert landscape, situated at the base of the Simpson Mts. This location highlights the intersection of 19th-century transit and 20th-century military utility, as the historic Pony Express and Overland Stage Route cuts directly through the northern portion of the Dugway Proving Ground. The map illustrates a stark divide between the open terrain of Government Creek and the restricted military zones, providing a clear record of land use in this part of Tooele County.
