About this map

The Tonopah Gunnery Range dominates the high desert landscape of this 1942 survey, revealing the rapid militarization of southern Nevada during the Second World War. The Military Reservation Boundary cuts across a complex geography of arid basins and volcanic ridges, including Yucca Mountain and the Calico Hills. Grounded in early twentieth-century data and updated with 1941 aerial photography, the map highlights essential desert infrastructure such as the Maintenance Station along the highway and rare water sources like Cane Spring.
