1952 Map of Reveille Peak

About this map

The Reveille Range dominates this mid-century high-desert landscape, rising sharply between Reveille Valley to the west and Railroad Valley to the east. At its center stands Reveille Peak, a prominent topographical landmark surrounded by the intricate contours of Fang Ridge. This remote portion of Nye County shows the marks of both ranching and military presence during the early Cold War era. The southern portion of the sheet is occupied by the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range, while human habitation is limited to the isolated Cedar Pipeline Ranch. Essential water sources are few and far between in this arid basin, noted by labels such as Freds Well and a high-altitude reservoir, alongside a Landing Field (Aban'd) that suggests a brief period of aviation activity in the desert flats.
