About this map

Wendover Air Force Range dominates the landscape of this 1954 topographic survey, illustrating a remote stretch of Tooele County dedicated to military operations during the mid-century. The terrain is characterized by expansive salt flats and notable clusters of Sand Dunes, with precise elevation markers tracing the subtle rises and depressions of this arid environment. The map provides a logistical connection to the southeast, noting the distance to the Dugway Proving Ground Hdqrs. 52 Mi., while the eastern edge of the sheet borders the Dugway Proving Ground. This document captures the intersection of desert geomorphology and Cold War-era defense land use, showing a region where the natural isolation of the Great Salt Lake Desert was utilized for expansive proving grounds and aerial ranges.
