1952 Map of Stinking Spring

About this map

The Kawich Range dominates the eastern landscape of this Nevada survey, providing a sharp contrast to the sprawling military installations to the west. This mid-century record documents a transition from pioneer ranching and mineral exploration to Cold War defense testing. The high country near Longstreets Ranch and Silverbow Springs represents the region's earlier character, while the vast southern portion is designated as the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range. Within this Restricted zone, the map identifies specific military infrastructure including a Landing Field, various Target points, and a Bunker. Between these eras of use lies the Golden Arrow Mining Area, tucked against the hills, marking the enduring search for resources in the high desert. The Mt Diablo Base Line serves as the primary latitudinal reference across this sparsely settled terrain.
