1973 Map of West of Wildcat Mountain SW

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground and the Wendover Air Force Range dominate this 1973 orthophotomosaic, providing a stark visual record of the high desert military landscape in Tooele County. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this survey uses aerial photography to capture the literal texture of the Mud Flat terrain, revealing the subtle variations in surface reflectance and drainage patterns across the arid basin. The boundary between Range 16 West and Range 15 West bisects the image, marking the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System against the seemingly chaotic natural alkaline flats. This document captures the region during a period of intense military utility, where the remote landscape was utilized for large-scale testing and training operations far from Utah's population centers.
