1952 Map of Belted Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Belted Range dominates this mid-century survey of Nye County, Nevada, reflecting a landscape defined by military operations and early extractive efforts. Most of the territory falls within the Las Vegas Bombing Range, where the presence of a Target and an Abandoned Landing Strip underscores the area's role in Cold War-era defense training. The terrain is a mix of high peaks and wide valleys, where sparse water sources like Cliff Spring, Lambs Pond, and Antelope Reservoir provided essential waypoints in an otherwise arid environment. In the northeastern corner, the Oswald Mine serves as a reminder of the region's mining heritage, connected to the broader landscape by a marked Railroad and a long Ditch system. Rising above the desert floor, Belted Peak serves as the primary landmark for this sparsely settled but strategically significant portion of the Great Basin.
