1954 Map of Wildcat Mtn SE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range dominates this mid-century topographic profile of the Great Salt Lake Desert, illustrating the region's intense transformation for military aviation and weapons testing. This high-altitude desert environment is characterized by sparse, shifting terrain, including a notable expanse of Sand Dunes in the northeast corner. The map documents the overlap of vast military reservations, as the Dugway Proving Ground extends into the southern portion of the quadrangle. Aside from these designated military zones, the landscape is defined by its topographic isolation and the survey lines of the public land survey system, revealing a territory primarily dedicated to national defense operations during the Cold War era.
