1993 Map of Wildcat Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

Wildcat Mountain rises sharply from the surrounding desert floor within the extensive Utah Test and Training Range in Tooele County. This arid landscape is dominated by shifting Sand Dunes and expansive Mud Flat terrain, illustrating the harsh geography of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The isolation of the mountain made it a logical site for military operations, as evidenced by several designated Landing Strip locations cleared along the base of the ridges. Sparse signs of earlier human activity appear on the northern slopes of the mountain, where a Tunnel and various prospects suggest historic attempts at mineral extraction. The map reveals the stark intersection of mid-century mining exploration and late-twentieth-century military training infrastructure, set against a backdrop of natural geological formations in a remote corner of Utah.
