1987 Map of Kawich Peak SW

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area) dominates this high-desert landscape in Nye County, showing the intersection of military operations and protected wildlands in the late twentieth century. The terrain is characterized by the slopes of the Kawich Range, where resource extraction and range management converge. Sparse but vital water sources like Tunnel Spring, Corral Spring, and a Water Trough punctuate the arid environment, serving as critical points for the Nevada Wild Horse Management Area. Evidence of mineral exploration is visible through several clusters of Prospects located in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This provisional mapping captures a specific moment when government land use and natural resources were carefully monitored, including the presence of a Tower 54 Ft standing as a man-made landmark in the open basin.
