1953 Map of Tooele

About this map

Tooele Army Depot and the expansive Dugway Proving Ground anchor the eastern and southern portions of this mid-century landscape, illustrating the significant military footprint in the region during the Cold War era. To the west, the Wendover Air Force Range spans the desert floor, neighboring the iconic Bonneville Salt Flats Race Track. The Western Pacific and Union Pacific railroads cut across the arid basins, connecting isolated outposts like Salduro, Knolls, and Clive to the more established settlements in the shadow of the Oquirrh Mountains.
