1987 Map of East of Beatty Mtn.

About this map

Yucca Mountain dominates this high-desert landscape in Nye County, Nevada, as it appeared in the late 1980s. This survey focuses on the arid, geologically complex terrain where the Nellis Air Force Range boundary line cuts through the ridges and valleys of the Great Basin. The drainage patterns are defined by ephemeral watercourses such as Beatty Wash, Buttonhook Wash, and Windy Wash, illustrating the harsh hydrological environment. Human presence is marked by various Prospects scattered across the higher elevations, indicating localized mineral exploration efforts. A series of bench marks and survey points, including BM 4154.7 8jd, provide precise topographical data for this high-altitude region. The map captures a moment before significant modern changes, documenting a desert landscape defined by isolation and military reservation boundaries.
