1988 Map of Gold Flat East

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area) dominates this section of the Nye County desert, where military activity and conservation management overlap. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial fans and significant topographic low points labeled as Depression, leading into the wide expanse of Gold Flat. To the east, the landscape rises sharply into the Nevada Wild Horse Management Area, where an Indefinite Boundary marks the transition from the range's restricted operations to protected lands. The presence of several Target markers and an Abandoned Target reflect the area's intensive use for aerial training exercises. Natural features are scarce in this arid environment, though Grass Spring Canyon provides a named landmark amidst the rugged eastern slopes.
