1973 Map of Tim Spring

About this map

The Pintwater Range dominates the center of this southern Nevada landscape, serving as a prominent topographic divide between the Indian Springs Valley to the west and the Three Lakes Valley to the east. This 1970s survey captures a strictly managed environment where the boundaries of the Nellis Air Force Range and the Desert National Wildlife Range overlap. The presence of Tim Spring and Sand Spring on the western slopes highlights the critical nature of water sources in this arid desert terrain, which features a significant geological Depression in the southwestern quadrant. An Indefinite Boundary marks the jurisdictional line between Clark and Lincoln Counties, cutting across the northern reaches of the range. The map reflects a period of modern aerial photogrammetric surveying while documenting a landscape largely devoid of permanent human settlement or major infrastructure.
