1987 Map of Hawthorne East
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The Hawthorne Army Ammunition Plant dominates this mid-1980s survey, illustrating a massive grid of bunkers and facilities occupying the Walker Lake Valley. This landscape reflects a specialized military industrial footprint, where the town of Hawthorne serves as a residential and logistical hub on the edge of a vast Military Reservation. The transport infrastructure is dictated by these defense needs, including the Southern Pacific railroad line curving through the valley to serve the small settlement at Thorne.
