1952 Map of Silent Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Nellis Air Force Range occupies this high desert expanse in Nye County, showing the landscape as it appeared during the height of Cold War military surveying. The northern reaches are dominated by the level bed of Dry Lake and the broad expanse of Gold Flat, where a remote Landing Strip and a Bomb label point to the area's restricted tactical use. This 1952 topographic study, compiled by the Army Map Service, documents a transition from the volcanic tablelands of Pahute Mesa into complex drainage systems like North Silent Canyon and South Silent Canyon.
