2023 Map of Wig Mountain NW

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this landscape, showing the stark environment of the Tooele County basin in the early twenty-first century. The area is characterized by vast alkali flats and is largely defined by restricted military operations. Significant portions of the quadrangle fall within the Utah Test and Training Range and the West Desert Test Center, highlighting the region's role in aerospace and defense testing. Human infrastructure is nearly absent from the terrain, with only White Rock Rd cutting through the northwestern corner. The map documents the grid-system sections of this arid landscape where the natural environment and federal military installations intersect far from the state's population centers.
