From Indian Springs looking south. Top photo is from the Chester R. Longwell collection (#311-0117) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and was taken ca. 1925. The lower photo is by me, 10 June 2011.
Mt. Wheeler is the skylined peak to the left of center. There has been some development in the intervening 85 years, although this part of Indian Springs seems abandoned. Perhaps it was base housing back around WWII. There's a big air force base behind me (Creech) which is still very active--you can often see Predators flying there--and which dates back to WWII.

Note that this is NOT the Mt. Wheeler in Great Basin National Park, although it's named after the same explorer.
