1986 Map of Springdale NE

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range dominates this mid-1980s landscape in southern Nevada, marked by the extensive Restricted Access Area that cordons off vast stretches of high-desert terrain. The geography is characterized by stark features such as Dry Alkali Flat and the prominent height of Little Black Peak. Despite the modern military presence, evidence of earlier industrial and transportation infrastructure remains visible. An Old RR Grade cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, tracing the path of former rail operations through the desert. Small-scale resource extraction is also present, indicated by a Gravel Pit and a scattered Prospect, reflecting the long-standing mineral interests typical of the region. The map provides a detailed look at the intersection of federal military control and the residual physical traces of early Nevada development.
