1985 Map of Grimes Point

About this map

Lahontan Valley defines this landscape of irrigation and military infrastructure in the mid-1980s. The sprawling Fallon Naval Air Station occupies a significant portion of the terrain, featuring numerous radio facilities and a central control tower. The surrounding area is a complex network of man-made waterways and natural drainages, including S Line Reservoir, Harmon Reservoir, and Stillwater Slough, which support the local agriculture. Cultural landmarks such as the Harmon School and the Churchill Co Cemetery provide important points for genealogical research. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Eetz Mountain and Grimes Point, where a historical marker indicates the intersection of desert topography and local heritage. The grid of rural roads, including Macari Lane and Berney Road, illustrates the late-20th-century settlement pattern in this arid Nevada basin.
