1952 Map of Belted Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Las Vegas Bombing Range dominates this mid-century landscape, a restricted military expanse in the high desert of Nye County. The survey reveals a terrain defined by the contrast between the flat floor of the Kawich Valley and the jagged elevation of the Belted Range. Civilian interests appear on the margins or in the past, indicated by the Oswald Mine in the northeast and an Abandoned Landing Strip near the valley floor. Water sources are scarce and critical, limited to isolated points like Cliff Spring, Lambs Pond, and the Antelope Reservoir. The map illustrates the region's transition into a secure weapons testing area, where traditional mining activity was superseded by military requirements, evidenced by various Target markers positioned throughout the sector.
