1973 Map of Dead Horse Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Desert National Wildlife Range dominates this landscape, reflecting a period of mid-century federal land management where conservation and military utility converged. The western portion of the map is occupied by the Nellis Air Force Range, defined here by a series of Restricted zones and a distinct Military Reservation Boundary. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation shifts, rising from the Three Lakes Valley up to the high crest of Dead Horse Ridge and Saddle Mountain. Settlement is absent, replaced by specialized infrastructure like the Sheep Pass Guzzler, a wildlife watering station. Transportation is limited to unimproved tracks such as Alamo Road and Dead Horse Road, which navigate between prominent geographical features like Surprise Canyon and Snow Basin. The map also captures the administrative division between Lincoln and Clark counties along an Indefinite Boundary.
