1955 Map of Tabbys Peak SE

About this map

The Cedar Mountains dominate the western portion of this mid-century landscape, marking a stark transition into the high-desert topography of Tooele County. Surveyed in 1955, the map captures a pivotal era for land use in this part of Utah, where the open expanse of Skull Valley meets federal and indigenous territories. The boundary between the Skull Valley Indian Reservation and the Dugway Proving Ground Military Reservation illustrates the complex layering of jurisdiction across the Great Salt Lake Desert region. Between these large tracts, distinct terrain features like Wide Hollow and Post Hollow provide landmarks within the ridges. The eastern flats are punctuated only by Hickman Knolls, showing a landscape defined more by natural contours and military-industrial boundaries than by civilian settlement.
