1983 Map of Desert Hills SW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range dominates the southern landscape of this Lincoln County survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in the Nevada desert during the early 1980s. The map documents a transition between federal land uses, where restricted military airspace meets the protected National Wildlife Range. The terrain is defined by the prominent Desert Range and the Desert Hills, which separate the broad, arid stretches of Tikaboo Valley to the north from Three Lakes Valley in the southwest. This provisional mapping, compiled from 1976 aerial photography, captures a rugged interior basin and range environment prior to later modern developments, showing a region almost entirely devoid of permanent civil settlements but rich in topographic complexity.
