1954 Map of Wildcat Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range dominates this mid-century landscape in Tooele County, illustrating the significant military footprint in the Utah desert during the Cold War era. Centered on the distinctive Wildcat Mountain, the map reveals a rugged terrain defined by shifting Sand Dunes that flank the central peak to the northwest and southeast. The presence of a Tunnel and various Prospects on the northern slopes of the mountain suggests a history of mineral exploration or developmental activity preceding or coinciding with military use. This 1954 survey provides a clear look at how remote geological features were repurposed for national defense, serving as a backdrop for tactical training and aviation testing in the vast Great Salt Lake Desert.
