1973 Map of South of Arinosa SE

About this map

Wendover Air Force Range dominates this orthophotomap, showing the stark desert landscape of Tooele County as it appeared in the early 1970s. This specific region is characterized by extensive Mud Flat terrain, a characteristic feature of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The aerial imagery used to compile this sheet reveals the subtle variations in surface texture and drainage patterns across the arid basin floor, where conventional topographic contours are sparse due to the extreme flatness of the land. The boundary between Range 16 West and Range 15 West runs through the western section of the sheet, providing a primary reference point within the military installation. The map serves as a detailed record of land use and geomorphology in an area strictly dedicated to aerospace training and defense operations during the Cold War era.
