1952 Map of White Blotch Springs

About this map

White Blotch Springs serves as a vital hydrological marker within this high-desert landscape, located at the intersection of several significant geological and administrative zones. Much of the western territory is defined by the Nellis Air Force Range, a vast expanse of restricted land that spans across the Nye Co Lincoln Co boundary. The map captures the basin-and-range topography of the early 1950s, showing the broad floor of Sand Spring Valley as it transitions into the rising elevations of the Groom Range to the southeast. Water infrastructure is a prominent theme in this arid region, as evidenced by a labeled Aqueduct and scattered Water Tank and Water Tanks locations. These features trace the essential lifeblood of human activity and military logistics in a landscape otherwise dominated by expansive desert flats and mountain ridges.
