1983 Map of Groom Range SE

About this map

Tikaboo Valley occupies the northern half of this Nevada landscape, transitioning into the complex topography of the Jumbled Hills to the south. Produced in 1983 from 1976 aerial photography, the map highlights the proximity of these landforms to the Nellis Air Force Range, which encompasses the southern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of a Restricted area underscores the military significance of the region during the late twentieth century. This sheet is primarily a study of arid landforms and government land use, showing a terrain shaped by dry washes and high-desert elevations rather than civilian settlement. It serves as a specific record of the southern Nevada desert's geography at a time when military aerospace activity was a dominant factor in the regional landscape.
