1958 Map of Arrow Canyon

About this map

Arrow Canyon Range and the Las Vegas Range dominate this mid-century Nevada landscape, creating a high-altitude corridor between the sprawling Hidden Valley and Dry Lake Valley. The region is defined by its arid geography, notably the large Dry Lake (Alkali Flat) in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Along the southeastern edge, the Union Pacific railroad provides a vital transportation link, serving small stops like Crystal and Giant. A Quarry and a lone Well mark the sparse human activity in this desert environment, much of which falls within the Game Range National. Surveyed in the 1950s, the map also captures distinct landmarks such as Battleship Wash and the prominent Arrow VABM 5205 peak, providing a detailed record of the terrain and its limited but essential infrastructure.
