West Desert Test Center occupies the southern portion of this landscape, representing the modern military footprint in this part of Tooele County. The terrain transitions from the salt flats of Skull Valley in the northeast toward the rising elevations of the Cedar Mountains. The topography is defined by several notable geological depressions and rises, including the Wide Hollow and Post Hollow drainages, alongside the prominent Hickman Knolls at the northern edge. Limited infrastructure serves this desert environment, primarily restricted to unpaved corridors such as Cedar Mountain Rd and Post Hollow Rd. This 2023 edition highlights how land use remains divided between open desert valley and restricted government testing grounds, a pattern established during the mid-20th century.
