1986 Map of Tolicha Peak NW

About this map

Pahute Mesa dominates this high-desert landscape in northern Nye County, where the terrain transitions toward the heights of Stonewall Mountain. This area is characterized by its isolation and specialized use, falling entirely within the Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area). The map reveals a land defined by restricted military operations and topographical extremes rather than traditional settlement. A prominent Target is marked in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, indicating the active tactical nature of the site during the mid-1980s. The absence of roads or civilian structures underscores the high-security status of this portion of the Great Basin, serving as a record of American military land use in the late twentieth century.
