1987 Map of Hawthorne West

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Hawthorne Army Ammunition Plant dominates this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating a massive military industrial footprint in the Walker Lake Valley. This provisional survey shows the sprawling infrastructure of the facility, including the Hawthorne Naval Base and the adjacent community of Babbitt. To the west, the steep slopes of the Wassuk Range are marked by legacy mining activity, including several labels for Prospect and a Mine Shaft, while the hydrology of the arid basin is managed through features like the Rose Creek Reservoir and Black Beauty Reservoir. Along the southern shore of Walker Lake, the map records the position of Navy Beach and the WL 3956 water line, providing a precise spatial record of the lake's historical recession during the late 20th century.
