1993 Map of Wildcat Mountain SW

About this map

Dugway Proving Ground dominates this 1993 landscape, illustrating the immense scale of military operations in the Great Salt Lake Desert. The terrain is characterized by extensive, level stretches of Mud Flat, where the lack of vertical relief and vegetation made the area ideal for specialized testing and maneuvers. This section of the Utah Test and Training Range shows the intersection of several townships, including T 5 S, T 6 S, and T 7 S, though the land remains largely devoid of permanent civilian settlement or commercial infrastructure. The map serves as a record of mid-to-late 20th-century military land use, where the desolate environment of Tooele County was leveraged for strategic defense purposes during the Cold War era.
