1968 Map of Amargosa Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Amargosa Flat (Alkali) and the sprawling Amargosa Desert dominate this 1968 landscape in Nye County, Nevada. The survey reveals a region defined by extreme aridity and resource extraction, where shifting Sand Dunes meet the stark, mineral-crusted surface of the alkali flat. Evidence of early industrial and prospecting efforts is scattered throughout the terrain, including a Claypit on the western edge and several unnamed Prospects in the southern hills. Survival in this environment is marked by isolated Wells, while the network of unimproved dirt roads provides vital connections toward Death Valley Junction and Nevada Highway 16. The map captures the raw intersection of geological scale and the human attempt to navigate and mine this section of the Mojave.
