2023 Map of Wig Mountain SW

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this section of Tooele County, presenting a stark expanse of salt flats and arid terrain. This specific geography has long dictated the region's use for specialized military operations, evidenced by the vast boundaries of the Utah Test and Training Range and the West Desert Test Center. These facilities occupy significant portions of the desert landscape, illustrating the intersection of natural isolation and national defense infrastructure. Sparse transportation routes are represented by Falconer Rd, which skirts the southern portion of the sheet. The map serves as a record of modern land management within a highly restricted and specialized environment, where the absence of permanent civilian settlements highlights the dedicated purpose of this high-desert territory.
