1993 Map of South of Arinosa SE

About this map

The Utah Test and Training Range dominates this landscape, illustrating the mid-to-late 20th-century utilization of the Great Salt Lake Desert for military operations. This 1:24,000 scale survey, revised in the early 1990s, provides a technical view of the low-relief terrain, where the expansive Mud Flat dictates the geography. The map reveals the intricate contouring of an environment where elevation changes are measured in mere feet, showing how military boundaries and public land survey systems were imposed upon this seemingly featureless salt crust. It serves as a precise record of the desert's character before modern navigational technologies shifted the focus of such remote interior basins.
