1973 Map of Quartz Peak SW

About this map

The Spotted Range dominates this 1970s landscape, serving as a prominent topographical spine between high-altitude basins in Southern Nevada. This survey illustrates a complex intersection of land management and restricted access, where the Desert National Wildlife Range overlaps with the high-security boundaries of the Nellis Air Force Range. To the east, the terrain descends into the broad expanse of Indian Springs Valley, a region defined by its wide alluvial floors. The map also records the Lincoln Co Clark Co boundary line, tracing the political division across the high ridges and desert flats during a period when this area remained a strictly controlled military and conservation corridor.
