1989 Map of Groom Mine NW

About this map

The high desert landscape of Emigrant Valley dominates this 1989 provisional survey, illustrating a remote stretch of the Nevada interior. This map covers a critical portion of the Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area), a high-security military zone where the natural terrain remains largely untouched by civilian development. The topography is defined by broad alluvial basins and isolated peaks, showing a environment of extreme isolation. Evidence of human presence is sparse, limited to an occasional Corral and the surveyed boundary of Nye Co Lincoln Co. This edition captures the area's administrative character during the late 20th century, where federal land management and military restriction preserved the desert floor in its primitive state.
