1987 Map of White Patch Draw

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range (Restricted Area) dominates this high-desert landscape in the late 1980s, revealing a terrain used for sensitive military operations and mineral exploration. The southern portion of the Cactus Range transitions into the expansive Flat and the Stonewall Depression, where the map identifies specialized military features such as a Radioactive Area and multiple Targets. Evidence of historic and active mining activity is scattered across the northern slopes, with numerous Prospects, a Mine Shaft, and an Adit located near White Patch Draw. This document captures a specific moment in the management of the Great Basin's public lands, where Cold War-era military restrictions intersected with the region's enduring mining heritage.
