1952 Map of Quartzite Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range dominates this mid-century landscape in Nye County, showing a transition from early pioneer mining to Cold War military operations. The rugged Kawich Range rises sharply between the desert expanses of Gold Flat and Kawich Valley, sheltering the old mining district of the Gold Reed (Site). Evidence of prospectors and ranchers remains in the form of a designated Mining Area and the Wild Horse Ranch, alongside survival-critical water points like Cedar Wells and the Jackpot Reservoir. Several labeled Target areas and an Abandoned Landing Strip underscore the area's repurposing for aerial training. The presence of Quartzite Mtn and Cedar Pass highlights the natural corridors and obstacles that dictated travel through this arid high-desert terrain.
