The BLM has moved into the new millennium with some very fine online

limits:

For example, searching T7S, R59E, Mt Diablo Meridian, (the Tikaboo
Peak/Badger Mountain area) turns up a record for the radio facility on
Badger Mt. �It's shown as 0.31 acres as a "comm site and helipad",
granted 8/6/85. �The detailed document number for it is N41559, but
that's not available online. �A visit to the Vegas BLM office with a
polite request to examine that document would no doubt turn up more
details. �Things get more entertainingly vague when looking around the
Basecamp area, as that's not obviously identified as DOD property.

But if you REALLY want to have fun, try out the BLM's national land
use viewer, GeoCommunicator. �It's a bit involved, but there are all
sorts of mysteries to be explored using that tool:

I see Public Land Order 7131 expired. I wonder if I can get anyone
from the BLM to cross the border with me. ;-)

Basecamp has it's own public land order.

Guess who was the only person to review the document and make a
complaint. ;-) It is not a secret since I had to sign my name and show
ID to see the file. [Had I known that going into the meeting with the
BLM, I might have thought twice about going on the record.] The USAF
was going to run a fence illegally from their land north to the next
fence, effectively limiting off road travel behind basecamp. Of course
when I pointed out that they were going to block public land, the BLM
nixed the new fence.

They never did any of the fencing, so you could drive up the VOR if
you wanted, though they would have every right to tell you that you
are trespassing. It is ironic that since I'm the only outsider with a
map of their border, I can't go and do the same trip since I know it
is their land.  That is, there is a well documented paper trail to
eliminate my plausible deniability.

I don't have it handy, but there is another BLM website that covers
all their comm site leases. I'm pretty sure I posted it here.
