1986 Map of Tolicha Peak SW

About this map

Pahute Mesa dominates the northern horizon of this 1986 survey, situated within the high desert of the Nellis Air Force Range. This high-altitude plateau gives way to the lower reaches of Sarcobatus Flat and the dry bed of Tolicha Wash in the south, illustrating the sharp elevation changes of the Great Basin. The landscape is marked by historical extraction efforts, specifically around the Clarkdale Mine, where a network of Shafts, an Adit, and various Prospects suggest a period of active mineral exploration. The presence of the Restricted Access Area and Coyote Holes highlights the isolated and controlled nature of this territory during the mid-1980s, serving as a record of both industrial mining heritage and modern military land use.
