1969 Map of Lone Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Carson Sink (Depression) dominates this desolate landscape in Churchill County, where the topography is defined by massive stretches of Alkali Flat and shifting Sand Dunes. This environment, largely devoid of permanent settlement, was utilized for military purposes in the late 1960s, as evidenced by the Navy Bombing Target Area situated in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The namesake Lone Rock stands as a prominent landmark amidst the surrounding basin, providing a rare point of relief in an otherwise low-lying expanse. Transport through this difficult terrain is limited to a singular Jeep Trail, indicating the isolation of the area during the post-war era.
