1988 Map of Gold Flat West

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range dominates this landscape in the late 1980s, revealing a high-desert environment heavily modified for military testing and observation. The map shows an extensive network of Targets and observation points spread across the dry expanse of Gold Flat and the adjacent Depression. This area, restricted from public access, contains several interesting utilitarian features including a lonely Graveyard located near the northern edge of the flats. Along the western edge, the terrain rises into the Coyote Cuesta, providing a stark contrast to the level basin floor. Industrial activity is represented by several excavations, specifically Pits 1, Pits 2, and Pits 3, which underscore the human impact on this isolated stretch of Nye County.
