1968 Map of Amargosa Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Amargosa Flat (Alkali) dominates the northern expanse of this quadrangle, defining a stark landscape within the broader Amargosa Desert. Mapped in the mid-1960s, the terrain shows a harsh environment characterized by shifting Sand Dunes and minimal water sources, marked only by an occasional Well. Evidence of human industry is sparse but present in the form of a Claypit and scattered Prospects in the southern highlands. This 1968 survey captures the region at a time when only light-duty and unimproved dirt roads provided access through the basin. The map illustrates the extreme topography of the Nevada desert, where survival relied on these few infrastructure points and the extraction of mineral resources from the arid soil.
