The high peaks of the Sheep Range and Las Vegas Range define this high-desert landscape in the early 1950s. Rising above the desert floor, Gass Peak stands as a prominent landmark north of the expanding military infrastructure. The map reveals a transition from the natural water sources of the mountains, such as Mormon Wells, Quail Spring, and White Spot Spring, to the strictly controlled environments of the Nellis Air Force Range and Nellis Air Force Base.
