1987 Map of Hawthorne East

About this map

The Hawthorne Army Ammunition Plant dominates the floor of Walker Lake Valley, showing an extensive network of infrastructure and bunkers during the late 1980s. This industrial footprint contrasts sharply with the high desert terrain of the Gillis Range to the north and the Garfield Hills to the south. The town of Hawthorne is situated at the western edge of the facility, featuring a structured grid and a local Athletic Field. Mineral extraction is evident in the northern heights, where the Green Talc Mine and Dover Mine are located near several unnamed prospects. Transportation in the valley is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad line, which passes through Thorne as it skirts the mountains. The presence of several Dry Lake beds suggests the arid climate of this military-industrial landscape.
