1953 Map of Tooele

About this map

The Tooele Army Depot and Dugway Proving Ground dominate the high-desert landscape of western Utah in this mid-century survey. While the western expanse is defined by the Great Salt Lake Desert and the Bonneville Salt Flats Race Track, the eastern section shows the transition into the Oquirrh Mountains and the massive Bingham Canyon Mine. Transportation infrastructure reflects the region's role as a continental corridor, with the Western Pacific and Union Pacific railroads traversing the valleys and salt flats.
