Unit Closed - Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field

Creech Air Force Base serves as the primary reference landmark for this auxiliary field, located nearby to the north. The base is a major military installation with significant infrastructure and active airfield operations. The auxiliary field itself has minimal natural landmarks; the surrounding desert plains offer limited topographic relief for navigation.

Military structures and runway infrastructure define the landscape rather than natural geographic features.

The auxiliary field occupies low-elevation desert terrain with minimal elevation variation between 3,074 and 3,179 feet. Habitat consists primarily of open desert plains with sparse vegetation—mostly low sagebrush, saltbush, and scattered desert shrubs. The flat terrain and sparse vegetation are typical of the Mojave Desert's lower elevations.

No forested areas exist within the unit, making it unsuitable for species requiring timber.

The unit contains approximately 10 miles of roads associated with military operations and airfield infrastructure. All access is restricted and controlled by military security protocols. The area is completely closed to public entry due to active airfield operations and national security requirements.

No civilian hunting access is permitted under any circumstances; violating these restrictions is illegal and dangerous.

Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field is a restricted military installation supporting Creech Air Force Base operations. The area is completely closed to public access and hunting due to active military operations and security protocols. The auxiliary field sits within the lower Nevada desert, characterized by minimal topographic relief and sparse vegetation typical of high-desert plains.

All boundaries are controlled military property with no public hunting opportunities.

Water sources are extremely limited in this low-elevation desert area. No perennial streams, lakes, or reliable springs are documented within the unit. The sparse vegetation and flat terrain offer few natural water collection opportunities.

Any water development or availability would be confined to military infrastructure and is not accessible to the public.

This unit is closed to all public hunting. The military auxiliary field supports active air operations and is not available for any civilian hunting activities. While the broader region historically supports elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and other game species, this specific unit cannot be hunted.

Hunters should direct their efforts to adjacent open units in the Indian Springs area or other accessible Nevada hunting units.
