Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of the Proposed White Sides Land Withdrawal Lincoln County, Nevada

Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Lonnie C. Pippin; Alvin McLane

Year: 1994

Summary

The proposed land wirhdrawal, if granted, should have an overall beneficial effect on the historic properties within the land parcels due to the restriction of public access. Recent recreational activities on White Sides have already affected the cultural resource at 26LN3761 by the removal of rocks to construct wind breaks and have affected both historic roads (26LN3218 and 26LN3985) which have been heavily traveled to gain access to the southern land parcel. An adverse effect of land withdrawal would be the restricted access to these sites for scientific study. It is recommended that the BLM develop a management plan for that portion of the Summit Spring Road that traverses BLM managed lands since this particular road appears to have played a key role in the early development of southern Nevada and Lincoln County.
