==Geography== The complex is primarily within the [[Great Basin section|Great Basin physiographic section]], and the [[White River (Nevada)|White River]] portion east of the [[Great Basin Divide]] is in the [[Colorado River]] Watershed. Ecology is primarily [[Tonopah Basin]] surrounding elevated areas (Foothills/Uplands & High Valleys/Mid-Slope Woodland & Brushland) and 6 [[Tonopah Playa]]s in [[Antelope Lake (Nevada)|Antelope Lake's]] valley, [[Cactus Flat]], [[Groom Lake Valley]], southern [[Railroad Valley]], [[Sand Springs Valley]], and the northwest NTTR corner.{{r|Bryce}} The southern part of the complex in the [[Mojave Desert]] ecoregion is mostly [[Creosote Bush-Dominated Basins]] and [[Arid Footslopes]] ([[Jackass Flats]] is in the [[Amargosa Desert]] ecoregion.){{r|Bryce}} The complex includes 2 [[Central Basin and Range ecoregion|Salt Deserts]]—in the Coal Valley which has 3 sites of the "ADA activity area" (110E, 110F, & 110G) and in [[Dry Lake Valley]] (site 103 along the [[Burnt Springs Range]]).{{r|Huntley}} The highest ecoregion is in the [[Tonopah Bombing Range (FUDS)]] which includes a [[Central Nevada Bald Mountains]] ecoregion{{r|Bryce}} in the [[Kawich Range]]—the southern Bald Mountains are within the NTTR between the TTR & Wildhorse Management Area. The Logistic Supply Area of the ADA activity area is near [[Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge|the only Wetland ecoregion]] of the [[Tonopah Basin]]—in the [[Pahrangat Valley]] near both the Mojave ecotone and the northeast corner of the DNWR.{{r|Huntley}} Traversing the complex is the mid-1800s [[Utah Territory|Utah]] & [[New Mexico Territory|New Mexico Territories']] dividing line ([[37th parallel north]]), and the area was used for the [[Silver mining in Nevada#Tonopah district|1900–1921 silver rush]] (e.g., [[Tonopah Mining District]]{{r|Spurr}} & Tonopah [[Manhattan, Nevada|Manhattan]] Stage Route)<ref>{{Cite gnis |864176|Tonopah Manhattan Stage Route (864176) |accessdate=2013-06-30}}</ref> The region of mining claims was grouped into numbered geographic areas (e.g., [[Area 2 (Nevada National Security Site)|Area 2]], [[Frenchman Flat|Area 5]], [[Area 11 (Nevada Test Site)|Area 11]], [[Area 12 (Nevada National Security Site)|Area 12]], [[Area 25 (Nevada National Security Site)|Area 25]], [[Area 27 (Nevada National Security Site)|Area 27]], [[Tonopah Test Range|Area 52]]) which are used for current names, e.g., "Area 3 Compound"{{r|TTRCASs}} and "Groom Lake Field" ("[[Area 51]]" [[colloquialism|colloq.]]).<ref name=Pearse>{{Cite book |last=Pearse |first=Steve |date=August 22, 2011 |title=Set Your Phaser to Stun |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Gg6Yha6LJWUC&q=%22Nellis+Air+Force+Gunnery+and+Bombing+Range%22&pg=PA360 |publisher=[[Xlibris Corporation]] |access-date=2013-02-10 |isbn=9781465343369 }}</ref>{{Self-published inline|certain=yes|date=December 2017}} The 1941-9 demarcation between the [[Tonopah Bombing Range (FUDS)|Tonopah]] & [[Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range]]s ([[Parallel 36°30′ north]]) is generally along the serpentine [[Creosote Bush]] [[ecotone]] between the [[Central Basin and Range ecoregion]] and "Mojavian flora".{{r|Bryce}} ===Airspace=== The '''Nellis managed airspace''' {{r|Huntley}}{{rp|4–13}} associated with the complex is more than {{Convert|12700|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}},{{r|USACE2010}} is the responsibility of the "[[US Air Force Virtual]] (USAFv), A3", and "is composed of the Desert [[Military Operations Area|MOA]], with overlying [[Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace]] (ATCAA), Reveille North and South MOA and ATCAA, [and] Restricted Areas":<ref>{{Citation |type=Letter of Agreement |title=Control and Use Procedures for Nevada Test and Training Range Complex }}</ref> * Desert MOA: "subdivided into Sally Corridor, Elgin, Caliente, and Coyote training areas." * [[Reveille Range|Reveille]] Airspace:<ref>USAF (U.S. Air Force).
