1973 Map of Aysees Peak

About this map

Aysees Peak serves as a prominent landmark within this high-desert landscape, which is largely defined by the overlap of conservation and military interests in the early 1970s. The terrain is dominated by the Spotted Range and the Buried Hills, with the northern portion of the map falling within the Desert National Wildlife Range. Simultaneously, the entire area is part of the Nellis Air Force Range, illustrating the dual-use nature of this portion of Lincoln County. Movement across this arid environment was limited to a single Jeep Trail in the western reaches, winding near Halfpoint. This 1973 survey, field-checked by the Geological Survey, preserves the specific topographic character and nomenclature of a region restricted from general public access.
