1961 Map of Lathrop Wells

About this map

Amargosa Desert water sources and early desert transit dominate this 1960s survey of southern Nye County. The small settlement at Lathrop Wells serves as a central hub, situated near a local airstrip and several extraction sites including a Clay Pit and various gravel operations. The arid landscape is defined by its drainages, such as Fortymile Wash and Topopah Wash, which cut between prominent ranges like the Skeleton Hills and Yucca Mountain.
