1983 Map of Desert Hills SE

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Desert National Wildlife Range dominates this corner of Lincoln County, where the transition between Mojave and Great Basin ecosystems is reflected in the dramatic relief of the Desert Hills. The 1983 topography reveals a landscape defined by restricted access and conservation, overlapping with the Nellis Air Force Range. This intersection of military and wildlife management is a hallmark of the Southern Nevada backcountry during the late Cold War era. High ridgelines of the Pahranagat Range and the Desert Range frame a broad Valley, showing the classic basin-and-range structure of the region. The map preserves the exact alignment of the Air Force Range Boundary, providing researchers with a record of federal land designations before subsequent modern expansions.
