1954 Map of Wig Mtn SW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates the southern portion of this mid-century landscape, a terrain defined by its strategic military isolation in the Great Salt Lake Desert. The northern half of the survey is occupied by the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range, illustrating the vast scale of the Utah testing grounds during the Cold War era. The topographic data, compiled from 1953 aerial photography and 1954 plane-table methods, reveals a nearly level expanse with subtle elevation changes, marked only by ephemeral drainage patterns and isolated rocky outcrops. This map captures a strictly controlled military environment where the absence of civilian settlements or public roads underscores the area's specialized role in national defense and weapons testing.
