1962 Map of Thirsty Canyon SE

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range dominates this 1962 landscape in Nye County, Nevada, where the desert terrain is defined by complex contouring and a network of unimproved tracks. The map is a product of cooperation between the Geological Survey and the Atomic Energy Commission, reflecting the era's focus on national defense and scientific testing. In the southern half of the sheet, the Camp Transvaal (Site) marks a point of historical interest amidst the arid drainage of Beatty Wash. The topography transitions sharply as it moves toward the eastern edge, where the slopes of Timber Mountain rise from the basin. Traces of human activity are sparse, consisting primarily of the Military Reservation Boundary, a solitary Target, and various paths labeled as Jeep Trail, indicating a territory used more for strategic operations than permanent settlement.
