1986 Map of Thirsty Canyon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area) occupies the majority of this desert landscape, defined by steep topographic shifts and isolated high points. The terrain transitions from the high plateau of Pahute Mesa in the north toward the distinct peak of Thirsty Mountain further south. This 1986 edition documents a landscape used primarily for military training and geological exploration during the late Cold War period. Evidence of human activity is sparse but significant, marked by a single Prospect and the label Sleeping near the western boundary. Drainage patterns are dominated by the deep incisions of Left Fork Thirsty Canyon, which cuts through the volcanic geology common to this portion of Nye County.
