1955 Map of Wig Mtn NE

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Cedar Mountains dominate this remote landscape within the Dugway Proving Ground, where the high desert terrain transitions from steep, wooded ridges to wide expanses of shifting Sand Dunes in the west. Topography here is defined by rare water sources that have long dictated movement through the arid basin, notably Browns Spring and Cedar Spring. These points of relief supported travel through natural breaks in the range, such as Six Horse Pass and the rugged drainage of Six Horse Pass Canyon. The map reveals a network of Jeep Trails and unnamed footpaths that navigate the complex elevation of Rydalch Canyon, illustrating the restricted access and specialized military utility of this high-altitude proving ground during the mid-20th century.
