1952 Map of White Blotch Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

White Blotch Springs and the surrounding desert basin of Spring Valley dominate this mid-century topographic study of the Nevada high desert. Established within the restrictive boundaries of the Nellis Air Force Range, the landscape is defined by vast alluvial fans and the imposing peaks of the Groom Range to the southeast. The map details a strictly utilitarian infrastructure designed for survival and military operations in an arid environment, including a prominent Aqueduct and isolated Water Tanks. The rugged terrain of the Air Force Range is marked by numerous survey benchmarks and scattered water sources, reflecting the logistical challenges of maintaining a presence in this remote interior of the Great Basin. This document captures the intersection of military land use and natural hydrology along the Nye and Lincoln County line during a period of significant regional expansion.
