1988 Map of Mount Helen

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range dominates this late-twentieth-century landscape, illustrating the modern military presence in the Nevada desert. The terrain is defined by the high point of Mount Helen and the sprawling expanse of the Gold Flat Depression. This provisional survey records a specialized network of telecommunications and observation infrastructure required for range operations, including various named towers and signals like Phyllis-TV, Phil-TV, and Carl-TV. These features, along with a designated Target, reflect the area's role as a restricted testing and training ground. The map serves as a technical record of high-desert topography and military installations during the late Cold War era, where elevation points and survey markers provide more detail than traditional civil settlements.
