1973 Map of Indian Springs SE

About this map

The Nellis Air Force Range and Desert National Wildlife Range dominate this desert landscape north of Las Vegas, illustrating a region defined by federal oversight and military utility during the 1970s. The terrain is marked by the sharp contrast between the Pintwater Range and low-lying basins like the Desert Depression and Three Lakes Depression. Traces of earlier infrastructure are visible in the form of an Old Railroad Grade cutting diagonally across the restricted zones. Military and industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Bunkers, a Substation, a Tower, and multiple Borrow Pits and Borrow Pits. This survey captures the utilitarian nature of the high desert at a time when the area was strictly partitioned into wildlife refuges and tactical training grounds, as indicated by numerous Restricted areas and a designated Target.
