The Dugway Range extends northwesterly into the south of the Great Salt Lake Desert, the region at the west and southwest of the Great Salt Lake, about three times its area, a region of a flat white, salt flat, flat alluvial plains, and some alluvial mountain range pediments. It is the location of the Bonneville Salt Flats.

The 8 mi (13 km) long Granite Mountain lies 4 mi (6 km) north of the range; the mountain is a traveler's landmark with landscape sketches made in the 1800s (1859).
