Spanning three locations, these figures include towering human forms and majestic animal shapes. The largest human figure measures an astonishing 171 feet from head to toe, a testament to the incredible scale of these ancient artworks. Their origins are a subject of intrigue, with estimates placing their age between 450 and 2,000 years.
To create these massive geoglyphs, the ancient artists used a simple yet effective technique. By removing the dark surface stones and pebbles, they exposed the lighter soil beneath. This contrast created striking images that stand out against the desert floor. The removed stones were then placed along the edges of the figures, forming defined outlines that have withstood the test of time.

This massive prehistoric lake, once rivaling the size of present-day Lake Michigan, left behind a unique landscape of salts. The thickness of the salt crust varies dramatically, from less than an inch to six feet, creating a surface so flat that from certain perspectives, the curvature of the Earth can be seen.
The salt flats' potential as a racing venue was first recognized in the early 20th century. In a daring publicity stunt, publisher William Randolph Hearst hired William Rishel to cross the flats by bicycle in 1896. Rishel, an adventurous spirit and seasoned cyclist, embarked on what seemed an impossible journey. The conditions were harsh, with extreme heat, an unforgiving sun, and a seemingly endless expanse of salt stretching out before him. Despite these challenges, Rishel's determination and stamina saw him through. Pushing his bicycle across the flats, His journey took 22 grueling hours, a feat that captured the public's imagination and highlighted the potential of Bonneville as a site for high-speed endeavors.

Yet, beneath the surface of this burgeoning community lay challenges that would soon test the resilience of its settlers and the viability of the entire project. Water rights disputes, irrigation issues, and financial difficulties began to cast long shadows over Metropolis, foreshadowing the struggles that lay ahead.

It was here that two wagon drivers, William Ballinger and John Henry, stumbled upon a rich deposit of silver ore while searching for their grazing oxen. Their discovery would soon transform this arid basin into the Ward Mining District, and the once-desolate land would give rise to a vibrant community known as the town of Ward.
In 1876, the six beehive-shaped Ward Charcoal Ovens were constructed to supply the district’s smelters with charcoal. Built of native volcanic rock, each oven stood 30 feet high and could contain 35 cords of pinyon pine, which was carefully stacked and ignited to create high-quality charcoal. The charcoal fueled the smelters, helping extract precious metals from the ore in the region’s rich veins.
