1988 Map of West of Quartzite Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area) dominates this high-desert landscape in Nye County, showing the specialized infrastructure of a late-20th-century military testing ground. The map details a strictly controlled environment where massive geological features like Gold Flat and multiple unnamed basins marked simply as Depression are interspersed with observation points including a Tower 40 Ft and Tower 30 Ft. The transition from defense territory to public land management is marked by the Nevada Wild Horse Management Area, which borders the restricted zone to the east. The presence of Jackpot Reservoir and the solitary Pass Road suggest the limited but essential modifications made to this arid terrain for both military operations and resource management in the 1980s.
