1987 Map of Rhyolite Knob
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Rhyolite Knob rises above a landscape defined by military and federal management in this late-1980s survey of Nye County. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Kawich Depression and the volcanic formations of Lava Ridge. This quadrangle is dominated by the Nellis Air Force Range, including a designated Restricted Access Area that bisects the northern half of the map. The influence of the Bureau of Land Management is evident through the Nevada Wild Horse Management Area, which covers the southern portion of the sheet. Survey markers like Tower 40 Ft and Tower 30 Ft provide vertical reference points in this high-desert basin, while several transmission lines indicate the infrastructure supporting these remote government operations.
