1987 Map of Mud Lake North

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Ralston Valley dominates this 1980s landscape, providing a clear view of the high-desert topography within Nye County. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the expansive bed of Mud Lake, a feature central to the Nellis Air Force Range. This military presence is demarcated by a prominent Restricted Access Area line that bisects the dry lake bed. A notable geographic marker, the Base Line, runs horizontally across the lower section of the map, serving as a critical survey datum for the region. The map also captures smaller hydrological features such as Sink 5206, illustrating the internal drainage patterns typical of this arid basin. With few structures or roads, the map emphasizes the intersection of large-scale military land use and natural desert sinks.
