Dugway Proving Ground and the Wendover Air Force Range dominate this expansive landscape in the Great Salt Lake Desert. The terrain is characterized by the vast expanse of a Mud Flat, broken only by the presence of shifting Sand Dunes in the northeastern corner. This specialized military environment was documented using imagery from 1953, with a 1991 photoinspection confirming that the natural landscape and the perimeter of the proving grounds remained largely unchanged over nearly four decades. The map serves as a stark record of the isolated, high-desert testing ranges that have long been a fixture of Tooele County, illustrating the intersection of natural desert features and national defense infrastructure in this part of Utah.
