1973 Map of Mercury SE

About this map

The Indian Springs Valley floor and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this mid-century survey of Clark County. The landscape is defined by its administrative and environmental designations, split between the Desert National Wildlife Range and the restricted southern edge of the Nellis Air Force Range. These boundaries intersect near a notable geological Depression, where the map documents a series of industrial and exploratory markers including Borrow Pits and a Drill Hole. Along the southern margin, Willow Creek provides a rare riparian trace in an otherwise arid environment. This 1970s record, photoinspected in the early 1980s, captures the region before significant expansion, showing the primary transit route of Highway 95 as it cuts across the open valley basin.
