1993 Map of West of Wildcat Mountain SW

About this map

The Dugway Proving Ground defines this expanse of the Great Salt Lake Desert in Tooele County. Established as a military test site during the mid-20th century, the landscape is characterized by its extreme isolation and the extensive Mud Flat terrain that dominates the topography. This 1993 revision, based on imagery dating back to 1973, shows the intersection of the Utah Test and Training Range with the proving ground, highlighting a region dedicated almost exclusively to national defense operations and specialized environmental testing. The map reveals the stark nature of the landscape where wide alkaline basins meet the fringes of the surrounding mountains, providing a precise look at the land use and military boundaries in one of the most remote parts of the American West.
