1952 Map of Timber Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range dominates the landscape of this mid-century survey, a vast military training ground in Nye County. The terrain is characterized by the massive elevation of Pahute Mesa to the north and the prominent peak of Timber Mountain to the west. Deep drainage systems like Fortymile Canyon and its tributary Cat Canyon cut through the high desert floor, illustrating the complex erosional patterns of the Great Basin. A single Target point is noted within the range, reflecting the area's Cold War-era role in aerial and military training. This 1952 field-checked map, published for civil use by the Geological Survey, captures a strictly functional, uninhabited landscape defined by its topographic extremes and restricted military status.
