1952 Map of Stinking Spring

About this map

The Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range dominates the southern portion of this high-desert landscape, partitioned by the Mt Diablo Base Line. This mid-century survey reveals a transition from traditional land use to military operations, with several targets and target areas established across the basin. In the northeast, the Kawich Range provides a stark contrast to the flat valley floor, housing vital water sources like Stinking Spring and Silverbow Springs. Historical economic activity is centered near the Golden Arrow Mining Area and Longstreets Ranch, while the presence of a Landing Field, multiple observation towers, and a bunker underscores the area's specialized role within the restricted military zone during the early Cold War era.
