Yes, Desert Lake is T-Bird Lake. (Just like Texas Lake is Delamar, though sometimes they call it "jumbo.") This is central Nevada...we don't need
no stinkin' maps!
I see your point about the road crossing into Nellis territory, based on my Garmin maps. If you look at the official map, the DNWR says that is the
road to use. It may be a case where Nellis puts up a sign telling you to keep moving. When I talked to the BLM regarding Stonewall, I was told drive
the road but don't linger on Nellis property.
The official DNWR map is here.

Note that the road is close past Dead Horse Road.

It looks like you can see that fake town from the road block location through a pass in the hills, looking northwest.
When I drove the road from the Alamo side, the limit was at N36 56 37.6 W115 12 24.0 .
You will need a telescope to get anything close to a decent shot from 10 miles. I would suggest heading into the hill towards the south to do the
shot.
N36 44 41.6 W115 17 01.9
That will get you over a small obstruction I'm seeing on the Garmin profile.
The roads from the Alamo side were not so good. If you are going to time this to be there in the early morning to do the photography (and you might as
well if you expect anything decent), figure on driving about 10MPH.
