1986 Map of Springdale

About this map

Springdale lies within the Oasis Valley, representing a rare point of settlement in this arid reach of Nye County. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of Springdale Mountain and the expansive Sarcobatus Flat to the west. Evidence of the region's transport history is found in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the northern desert floor, tracing a line toward the horizon. To the south, the Bullfrog Hills and Donovan Mountain rise above scattered mining signs, including a noted Prospect, while the northeast corner of the map is dominated by the Nellis Air Force Range. This 1980s provisional survey shows the stark division between the open public lands and the restricted military terrain, capturing the transition from the old rail-and-prospecting economy to the modern defense-oriented landscape.
