1952 Map of Papoose Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range dominates this mid-century landscape, illustrating the intense military footprint in southern Nevada during the early Cold War. The map, based on 1952 aerial photography, captures a transitional desert wilderness where traditional land uses like the Kelly Mine exist alongside the expanding Nevada Proving Grounds. The terrain is characterized by stark basins and ridges, including the Half Pint Range and the Papoose Range, which flank the dry bed of Papoose Lake.
