1952 Map of Dry Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Union Pacific railroad and U.S. Routes 91 and 93 define the transit corridor through this arid Clark County landscape during the early 1950s. Small rail stops and settlements such as Dry Lake, Garnet, and Arrolime dot the path between the massive Arrow Canyon Range and the Muddy Mountains. The presence of the Nellis Air Force Base Bombing and Gunnery Range (Gass Peak) and the Desert Game Range Military Reservation Boundary highlights the mid-century expansion of federal military and conservation lands in southern Nevada.
