About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this section of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where the landscape is defined by the extensive Mud Flat and desert terrain. Revised in the early 1990s from 1950s imagery, the map documents a strictly controlled environment dedicated to military operations within the Utah Test and Training Range. The lack of civilian settlements or public roads reflects the area's specialized role in national defense and testing. Historical researchers will note the precise contour lines that trace the subtle elevation changes across the flats, illustrating the desolate character of Tooele County's western reaches. The map serves as a record of federal land use in the high desert during the late twentieth century, showing the intersection of military boundaries and the natural topography of the basin.
