1989 Map of Papoose Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Papoose Lake dominates the high desert landscape of this late-twentieth-century topographical survey, sitting at the heart of the Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area). The map details a strictly controlled environment where military activity and conservation overlap, as the southern portion of the quadrangle is occupied by the Desert National Wildlife Range. The terrain is characterized by the broad, dry expanse of Emigrant Valley, flanked by the peaks of the Papoose Range to the north and the Burled Hills and Half Pint Range to the south. This provisional edition, based on 1968 aerial photography and updated in 1989, provides an intricate look at the natural drainages like Nye Canyon that feed the seasonal dry lake bed, illustrating the isolated geography of Lincoln County.
