1952 Map of Mellan

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range occupies the core of this mid-century desert landscape, where military infrastructure and mining remnants meet. High-altitude targets, a Landing Field, and several observation towers are positioned across the broad expanse of Cactus Flat, reflecting the area's strategic use by the Department of the Army. Fading industrial roots are visible at Wilsons Camp and Trappman, situated near a designated Mining Area in the Trappman Hills. Water sources are critical but scarce in this arid environment, evidenced by isolated features like Antelope Springs, Sulphide Well, and a Water Tank. The topography is defined by prominent peaks and knobs, including Mount Helen and Gold Mountain, while the vast Dry Lake bed serves as a natural landmark between the Cactus Range and the Lizard Hills.
