1974 Map of Corn Creek Springs NW

About this map

Lucky Strike Canyon dominates the southwestern corner of this mid-1970s topographical record, where the drainage of Deer Creek descends from the high ground toward the open desert. The landscape is defined by its transition from a military environment to protected natural lands. The Nellis Air Force Range and an indefinite Military Reservation border occupy the northern and central sections, while the eastern portion falls within the Desert National Wildlife Range. Traces of earlier transportation and resource extraction are evident across the valley floor, including an Old Railroad Grade and several scattered Borrow Pits. The presence of the Corn Creek Well (Site) and a network of Jeep Trails indicates the sparse but vital water and access points used in this arid Clark County terrain.
