1972 Map of Frenchman

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Stillwater Range peaks and desert lowlands dominate this Nevada landscape during the early 1970s. The small settlement of Frenchman sits along the road at the edge of the Fairview Valley (Depression), a vast expanse designated as part of the U S Naval Reservation (Training Area). Evidence of resource extraction is visible to the west in the Sand Springs Range, where the Summit King Mine and various Prospects are located. The map reveals the stark contrast between the natural geography of Red Top Canyon and Sand Dunes and the military-restricted zones, including a specific U S Naval Reservation (Target Area) in the Flat. Industrial remnants like Tailings and Borrow Pits mark the terrain, offering a clear record of land use in this part of Churchill County.
