1973 Map of Quartz Peak NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range and the Desert National Wildlife Range share this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada. The overlapping boundaries of these federal lands create a restricted territory where military airspace and conservation efforts converge across the stark terrain of the Spotted Range. To the east, the broad expanse of Indian Springs Valley provides a dramatic shift in elevation, while the evocative Fallout Hills rise to the northwest. This 1973 survey, photogrammetrically mapped from 1972 aerial photography, documents the topography of a region primarily defined by its remoteness and strategic importance for both national defense and wildlife preservation, showing the intersection of range management and military operations in the Great Basin.
