1952 Map of Silent Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range dominates this mid-century topographic survey of Nye County, capturing the landscape during the Cold War era of desert testing. This terrain is defined by the stark transition from the broad, flat expanse of Gold Flat in the northwest to the intricate drainages and ridgelines of Silent Canyon and Pahute Mesa. Limited human intervention is evident through sparse industrial and military infrastructure, including the Landing Strip and Gold Flat Well No 1.
