1989 Map of Fallout Hills NW

About this map

Emigrant Valley dominates this 1989 provisional survey, illustrating a landscape defined by expansive desert basins and restricted federal territory. The map documents a significant intersection of military and environmental management within Lincoln County, where the Nellis Air Force Range overlaps with the Desert National Wildlife Range. To the northeast, the jagged topography of the Jumbled Hills rises sharply from the valley floor, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding alluvial flats. This edition was compiled from 1968 aerial photography and edited in 1989, capturing the area during a period of heavy administrative use. A critical boundary for the Nevada Test Site Area Access Restricted is clearly marked along the western edge, signifying the high-security nature of this remote Great Basin terrain during the late twentieth century.
