2012 Map of East of Tonopah

About this map

Tonopah Airport serves as the primary landmark in this corner of Nye County, reflecting the aviation infrastructure supporting the Great Basin region during the early 21st century. The map detail focuses on the grid of support roads surrounding the airfield, including Airport Rd and residential or service thoroughfares such as Airway Dr, Donnels Dr, and Scott Dr. This area east of the main town site is characterized by open desert terrain and the sparse, functional layout of transportation routes. The geometric precision of the airport runways and the radiating road network contrast with the drainage patterns of the dry desert washes that crisscross the surrounding landscape, providing a clear record of modern development and land use in this part of Nevada.
