Ogden (111.991W

northern Utah. Ogden Arsenal was established in 1935 and became
the Army's largest quartermaster depot by 1943, when it employed
6000 persons. Hill Field
was located nearby (111.975W

of the Rocky Mountains to the east. Clearfield Depot was
constructed at a cost of $38,345,122 on an 841 acre (340 hectare)
and had 8,602,000 square feet (799,200 m2) of storage
space. Construction began on 22 June 1942, and the depot was
