1987 Map of East of Cactus Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area) occupies the majority of this landscape in Nye County, showing a desert terrain adapted for military aviation training. The geography is defined by the transition from the rugged slopes of the Cactus Range in the southwest to the broad expanse of Cactus Flat in the northeast. This 1980s provisional survey records the specific infrastructure of the restricted zone, including a dedicated Landing Strip and Airport 5536 situated along the eastern edge. For researchers of Cold War-era military history, the map provides precise locations for tactical installations such as Rock Target 6133 and West Target 5461. High-voltage Trans Lines cut across the flats, while natural features like Cactus Draw and Pt Herford 5851 provide the only relief in an otherwise strictly managed and utilitarian environment.
