1954 Map of Wildcat Mtn SE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Military operations define this 1950s landscape within Tooele County, where the sprawling boundaries of the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range and Dugway Proving Ground intersect. The terrain is characterized by the stark, arid geography of the Great Salt Lake Desert, featuring prominent Sand Dunes in the northeastern section. This survey, compiled from aerial photography taken in 1953 and finalized by plane-table methods in 1954, captures the restricted nature of the region during a peak era of Cold War testing and training. The absence of traditional civilian infrastructure, such as roads or settlements, highlights the specialized use of this territory by the Department of the Interior and the military, preserving a specific moment in the administrative history of the American West.
