1983 Map of Desert Hills NW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Tikaboo Valley occupies the heart of this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada. Published as a provisional map in 1983, the survey documents a region defined by federal oversight and environmental conservation. Much of the northern terrain is occupied by the Nellis Air Force Range, while the southern portion falls within the Desert National Wildlife Range. The boundary between these two massive administrative tracts is noted as indefinite, reflecting the remote nature of this wilderness. The presence of the Run-In Line and numerous Restricted areas points to the specialized military activities that occurred here during the Cold War era. The topographical detail focuses on the southern reaches of the valley as it meets the rising elevation of the Desert Hills, providing a clear record of the region's primitive roads and drainage patterns before contemporary changes.
