1967 Map of Moores Station SW

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Hot Creek Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Nye County, showing a remote region under development by the Atomic Energy Commission during the late 1960s. The map documents an area defined by utilitarian infrastructure, from the Landing Field situated on the basin floor to numerous Drill Holes and a linear Pipeline and Aqueduct system. To the east, the steep escarpment of Halligan Mesa rises sharply from the valley floor, providing a stark topographical contrast to the drainage of Moores Station Wash. Human presence is sparse and functional, centered on water management points like Sixmile Well and scattered Water Tanks. This 1967 survey, later revised in the early 1980s, captures a transition where traditional range land met modern industrial and scientific exploration in the Great Basin.
