1987 Map of Belted Peak

About this map

Belted Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-desert landscape in the late 1980s, situated within the Nellis Air Force Range. This 1987 provisional survey documents a transition between strict military use and natural resource management, as the western portion of the terrain is designated part of the Nevada Wild Horse Management Area. The topography is defined by the sharp rise of Limestone Ridge and the crossing at Juniper Pass, while the broad expanse of Monotony Valley occupies the eastern reaches. Rare water sources like Cliff Spring are indicated among the contours, marking critical points in an otherwise arid environment where elevation and restricted access dictate the land's character.
