1955 Map of Tooele
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this mid-century landscape, revealing a unique intersection of industrial salt production and extensive Cold War military operations. The map details the vast Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range and the Dugway Proving Grounds, illustrating the era's focus on weapons testing in the remote reaches of Tooele County. Along the desert's edge, the Bonneville Salt Flats Race Track appears alongside the Bonneville Limited Potash Plant, while the Western Pacific and Union Pacific railroads provide critical transport links across the salt flats and through the Oquirrh Mountains.
