1952 Map of White Blotch Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

White Blotch Springs and the surrounding desert terrain are captured in this 1952 study by the Corps of Engineers. The landscape is dominated by expansive military activity, defined by the broad Bombing Range and Gunnery Range that cross the county line between Nye and Lincoln. These restricted zones sit adjacent to the sweeping floor of the Penoyer Valley, where isolated infrastructure like a Water Tank and several Water Tanks are the only indicators of human utility in an otherwise stark environment. The topography rises sharply into the Timpahute Range, where the steep contours contrast with the flat basins used for aerial training. This map serves as a specific record of Cold War-era land use in the Nevada desert, marking the intersection of natural springs and strategic military operations.
