1952 Map of Kawich Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The high peaks of the Kawich Range dominate this 1950s survey of the Nevada interior, where the high-altitude settlement of Silverbow stands near the base of the mountains. The map reveals a transition from ranching and mining to military use, with the southern half of the quadrangle occupied by the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range. Along the eastern slopes, isolated outposts like Eden Creek Ranch and Breen Ranch sit at the edge of the wide Reveille Valley, dependent on vital water sources like Corral Spring and Georges Water. This era of mapping was particularly significant for land management, as it clearly delineates the Mt Diablo Base Line and specific designated Mining Areas amidst the peaks of Kawich Peak and Nixon Peak.
