About this map

The Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range dominates the interior of this 1952 topographic study, reflecting the intense military and scientific utility of the Nye County desert during the early Cold War. This landscape of high desert basins and volcanic ridges is anchored by Yucca Mountain to the west and the heights of Shoshone Mountain to the east. Between these ranges lie the broad drainage of Fortymile Canyon and the expansive Jackass Flats.
