1952 Map of Wheelbarrow Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Wheelbarrow Peak stands as the dominant summit in this high-desert landscape of Nye County, mapped during a pivotal period of Cold War military expansion. The terrain is defined by the massive footprint of the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range, which occupies the central and eastern portions of the sheet. To the south, the Nevada Proving Grounds border indicates the area's role in mid-century atomic testing and defense research.
