1973 Map of South of Arinosa SW

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Wendover Air Force Range dominates this 1973 orthophotomap, showing the stark, utilitarian landscape of western Tooele County during the Cold War era. This specialized survey, compiled from aerial photography, captures the vast and level expanse of the Mud Flat that characterizes this portion of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The terrain is marked primarily by these wide, sediment-filled basins, where lack of vegetation and relief provided an ideal environment for military testing and range operations. Precise township and range boundaries, such as T 4 S and R 16 W, define the grid of this sparsely populated desert floor. For the local historian or military researcher, this map provides a clear aerial view of the range's physical layout before later developments or environmental shifts altered the surface of the salt flats.
