1972 Map of Drumm Summit

About this map

Fairview (Site) sits at the base of a high ridge in this early 1970s survey, marking a place where mining operations once concentrated. The landscape is defined by its industrial and military utility, with the U S Naval Reservation (Training Area) and a dedicated Target Area spanning much of the terrain. High-altitude landmarks like Chalk Mountain and Drumm Summit overlook the Dixie Valley and Fairview Valley depressions, while the presence of a Cem near the Dromedary Hump Mine and several Prospects suggests a history of local habitation tied to mineral extraction. Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the Aqueduct running alongside the eastern mountains and the Dixie Valley Res No 2 to the north. A prominent Fault line traces through the Stingaree Valley, indicating the active geological character of this Churchill County region.
