1973 Map of Mercury SE

About this map

The Desert National Wildlife Range and Nellis Air Force Range dominate this 1970s landscape in Clark County, revealing a territory defined by conservation and military utility. The map shows the Wildlife Military Reservation Boundary cutting through the northern terrain, where the high desert transitions into the Indian Springs Valley. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily concentrated along the route of Highway 95, which traverses the Depression. Evidence of resource extraction and geological study is visible through several Borrow Pits and a Drill Hole scattered near the roadway. To the south, the terrain descends toward Willow Creek, providing a stark contrast to the arid northern uplands. This survey documents the intersection of public lands and defense infrastructure in the Nevada desert during the early 1970s.
