1952 Map of Reveille Peak

About this map

Reveille Range dominates this central Nevada landscape, rising sharply between the wide basins of Reveille Valley and Railroad Valley. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map provides a look at the remote desert infrastructure of Nye County, including the Mt Diablo Base Line and isolated water sources like Freds Well and a Reservoir. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the presence of the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range, highlighting the era's expanding military footprint in the Great Basin. Human presence is sparse, centered on the Cedar Pipeline Ranch at the mountain base and a Landing Field (Aband) on the valley floor. Features such as Reveille Peak and the distinctive Fang Ridge provide vertical relief in an area primarily defined by drainage patterns and intermittent springs.
