1954 Map of Wildcat Mountain SE

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Military testing grounds dominate this 1954 topographic study of the Tooele County desert, where the northern expanse is defined by the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range. This restricted landscape is largely undeveloped, characterized by wide alluvial basins and the prominent Sand Dunes in the northeastern corner. To the south, the terrain transitions into the Dugway Proving Ground, illustrating the mid-century conversion of the Great Salt Lake Desert into a massive complex for weapons testing and military training. The map meticulously records elevation contours across this barren basin, providing a record of the natural topography before decades of military activity altered the surface of these remote ranges.
