1954 Map of Wig Mtn SW

About this map

Military operations define this 1950s landscape within the Great Salt Lake Desert, where the Dugway Proving Ground and Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range intersect. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial flats and sparsely distributed topographical markers, including a small Lake and the survey station at Vabm 4296. This period of the mid-twentieth century saw intense use of these remote Utah lands for defense testing and training, reflected in the large-scale territorial designations that dominate the sheet. Mapping was completed using 1953 aerial photography and 1954 plane-table methods, capturing a moment when military infrastructure was the primary footprint on this arid basin.
