2023 Map of Wildcat Mountain SW

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert terrain dominates this landscape, reflecting the stark and specialized use of this corner of Tooele County. The area is defined by massive federal land withdrawals, specifically the Utah Test and Training Range and the West Desert Test Center. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern boundaries of these high-security military zones, where the flat, alkaline expanse provides an ideal environment for aerospace and munitions testing. The topographic lines and section grids reveal a vast, largely undeveloped territory managed for national defense, characterized by its isolation and the nearly complete absence of civilian infrastructure or historical settlements.
