1989 Map of Fallout Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area) dominates this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada, defined by its restricted status and physical isolation. The territory is characterized by a series of prominent geological formations including Chert Ridge and the namesake Fallout Hills, which rise above the desert floor. This 1989 provisional study was compiled from 1968 aerial photography, showing a terrain largely dedicated to military and conservation purposes. Overlapping with the military range is the Desert National Wildlife Range, illustrating the complex dual-use of this land for national security and environmental preservation. The lack of traditional civil settlements or roads highlights the strictly controlled nature of this corner of the Great Basin, where topographic contours and desert landforms remain the primary landmarks.
