1987 Map of Cactus Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area) dominates the landscape of Nye County, Nevada, in this late-1980s topographic record. The map reveals the intersection of military activity and high-desert geography, marked by the presence of military Targets situated within the wide expanse of Ralston Valley. The terrain rises sharply toward the southeast, where the Cactus Range takes form, culminating at Cactus Peak. This area's industrial past is visible through a solitary Mine Shaft located near Endless Draw, suggesting early twentieth-century mineral exploration before the land was designated for restricted government use. The map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and relief of this high-elevation desert environment during a period of ongoing Cold War-era military operations.
