1969 Map of Lone Rock NW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Carson Sink dominates this arid landscape at the close of the 1960s, appearing here as an expansive Alkali Flat. To the northwest, the West Humboldt Range rises sharply, marking the transition from the low desert floor to high-elevation terrain. This survey captures a moment when the desert was increasingly utilized for technical and military purposes, evidenced by a Communication Facility and a Navy Bombing Target Area situated in the southeast. Sparse human activity is limited to a single Gravel Pit and a network of Jeep Trails that cross the shifting Sand Dunes. The boundary between Pershing and Churchill counties is also clearly defined, illustrating how administrative lines were drawn across this desolate environment.
