About this map

Dugway Proving Ground and the Wendover Air Force Range dominate this 1973 orthophotomap, illustrating the expansive military footprint in the Great Salt Lake Desert. Unlike traditional line-drawn topographic maps, this edition uses an orthophotomosaic to show the actual texture of the vast Mud Flat that defines the Tooele County landscape. The photographic base reveals the subtle, shifting surface patterns and drainage features of the basin floor that a standard map might simplify. This specialized survey by the Geological Survey and NOS/NOAA focuses on a critical restricted area, documenting the stark boundary between the northern air force range and the southern proving ground as they appeared in the early 1970s.
