1987 Map of White Blotch Springs NW

About this map

The Nellis Air Force Range dominates this high-desert landscape in southern Nevada, where the vast Sand Spring Valley meets the mountainous terrain of the north. This area, largely designated as a Restricted Access Area, is defined by its isolation and history of exploration. Scattered across the northwestern high ground, labels for several Prospects, a Mine Shaft, and a Mineshaft point to a legacy of mineral hunting in the hills above the valley floor. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Nye Co and Lincoln Co, which runs through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Significant topographic landmarks like Sharp Peak rise above the valley, providing distinct navigational points in an otherwise sparsely populated region of the Great Basin.
