1973 Map of Black Hills SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Desert Range dominates this corner of Nevada, where the high ridges of the Black Hills meet the low-lying Three Lakes Depression. This landscape is defined by its role as a restricted military and conservation area, containing significant portions of the Nellis Air Force Range and the National Wildlife Range. The presence of a Protective Dome and a designated Target Area suggests the specialized use of the terrain for defense testing and observation during the mid-1970s. Industrial and transit history is visible in the lower sections of the map, specifically through the Old Railroad Grade and the Borrow Pit. Water remains the primary constraint in this arid environment, marked by an isolated Dry Well and a Guzzler, while unpaved routes like Alamo Road and Cow Camp Road provide the only access through the rugged foothills.
