1952 Map of Reveille Peak

About this map

The central Reveille Range dominates this mid-century topographic survey, serving as the high-ground divide between the expansive Reveille Valley to the west and Railroad Valley to the east. At its highest point stands Reveille Peak, surrounded by a landscape defined more by sparse water resources and isolated outposts than by permanent settlements. The southern portion of the map is marked by the boundary of the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range, illustrating the increasing military footprint in the Nevada desert during the early Cold War.
