About this map

Dugway Proving Ground occupies the southern and western portions of this mid-century survey, revealing the remote military footprint in the Great Salt Lake Desert. The terrain is defined by a stark transition from the shifting Sand Dunes at the base of the range to the high ridges of the Cedar Mountains. Local water sources, critical for any activity in this arid environment, are specifically marked at Browns Spring and Cedar Spring. Moving through the interior, a Jeep Trail navigates the complex topography, providing access to Rydalch Canyon and the notable Six Horse Pass. The map captures a landscape dedicated to isolation and defense, where natural landmarks like Six Horse Pass Canyon serve as the only navigational anchors in a largely undeveloped desert expanse.
