1955 Map of Tabbys Peak SW

About this map

Cedar Mountains dominate this 1955 survey of the Utah desert, revealing a landscape defined by isolation and military restricted use. The southern half of the map is occupied by the Dugway Proving Ground, an expansive military testing site where the rugged terrain transitions into vast Sand Dunes at the lower elevations. The scarcity of water is evident in the scattered naming of isolated water sources like Cane Springs, White Rock Spring, and Orr Springs, which provided essential stops for early travelers and livestock.
