1973 Map of Heavens Well

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Pintwater Range dominates the central topography of this 1970s survey, marking a stark vertical divide between the Three Lakes Valley to the east and the Indian Springs Depression Valley to the west. The landscape reflects the dual administrative nature of this Nevada desert, where the conservation efforts of the Desert National Wildlife Range overlap with the restricted military operations of the Nellis Air Force Range. Isolated water sources and man-made landmarks provide the few points of reference in this arid environment, most notably Heavens Well and a specialized Protective Dome BM 3052 located near the valley floor. Evidence of land use is sparse, limited to a Borrow Pit and a designated Target area, illustrating the region's primary function as a remote training and wildlife preservation corridor.
