1945 Map of Sheep Range

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Tonopah Aerial Gunnery Range dominates the western and northern expanses of this mid-1940s landscape, reflecting the heavy military presence in the Nevada desert during the war years. Compiled from 1943 aerial photography by the U.S. Army Air Forces, the map details the Approximate Reservation Boundary slicing through the high desert. The terrain is defined by the massive verticality of the Sheep Range, culminating at Sheep Peak, and the parallel Desert Range to the west. A notable biological feature is the Yucca Forest spreading across the southern high plains, while the administrative division of the Lincoln County Clark County line establishes the political geography of this largely uninhabited territory. The absence of traditional settlements emphasizes the area's transition into a high-security military testing and training zone.
