1987 Map of Stinking Spring SW

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Cactus Flat dominates this high-desert basin within the Nellis Air Force Range, revealing a specialized landscape dedicated to Cold War-era military testing. Surveyed in the mid-1980s, the terrain is marked by a complex of technical installations and ballistic markers rather than traditional settlements. Researchers will find precise locations for the Master Launcher and the 9a Gunsite, alongside various tactical points like the Middle Target and several features simply labeled Target. The infrastructure is further defined by a series of Trans Lines and unique maritime-inspired desert markers such as the Main Lake Rad Ref. This topographic record provides a rare look at the spatial organization of restricted government testing grounds, where named landmarks like Tiger and Impact signify the site's primary function during a period of intense military readiness.
