1973 Map of Dog Bone Lake North

About this map

Dog Bone Lake occupies the center of this 1970s topographic study, situated within the broad expanse of Three Lakes Valley. This arid landscape is defined by the intersection of military and conservation interests, with the boundaries of the Nellis Air Force Range overlapping the Desert National Wildlife Range. The terrain transitions from the flat playa of the lakebed to the steep, complex contours of the Desert Range rising to the east. Several specific points are marked as Target Areas within the valley, reflecting the area's use for military training and aerial testing. Infrastructure is sparse, consisting primarily of a single Jeep Trail cutting across the northwestern quadrant. The map provides a precise look at these Restricted lands before modern developments, showing the natural drainage patterns and topographical relief that dictate movement through this part of Lincoln County.
