1988 Map of Cactus Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Cactus Spring anchors this high-desert landscape in Nye County, Nevada, where industrial military infrastructure meets historical prospecting. Located within the Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area), the terrain is defined by tactical installations such as Radar Hill 24 and Site 24 Radar, alongside a series of numbered targets. These modern markers contrast with older mineral extractions concentrated around Urania Peak. Geologic interests are evident in the Dacite Hills and the winding path of Sleeping Column Canyon. Evidence of early mining persists through the Urania Mine and several scattered prospects and an adit. The map illustrates the specialized mid-to-late 20th-century use of the Nevada desert, where remote mountains like Antelope Peak became essential for both mineral exploration and advanced aerospace testing.
