1955 Map of Wig Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this 1955 landscape, occupying a desolate stretch of the Utah desert defined by shifting Sand Dunes and the isolated rise of Wig Mountain. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is anchored by the Cedar Mountains, where a single Jeep Trail winds through the high terrain, marking one of the few signs of human transit in this restricted military zone. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the proving ground, featuring a geometric network of roads and enclosures set against the expansive, arid flats. This survey provides a precise record of mid-century military land use and topographic isolation in Tooele County during the Cold War era.
