1985 Map of Pahranagat Range

About this map

Alamo serves as the primary hub of human settlement in this mid-1980s landscape, situated in the fertile Pahranagat Valley. This region is defined by a stark contrast between protected natural environments and restricted military zones. The Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge and Desert National Wildlife Range preserve critical water sources like Upper Pahranagat Lake and Ash Springs. To the west, the map transitions into the highly restricted Nellis Air Force Range, where the dry beds of Groom Lake and Papoose Lake lie within the Military Reservation Boundary.
