1961 Map of Buckboard Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Nevada Test Site dominates this 1961 landscape, a high-desert environment shaped by both ancient human presence and modern atomic-era research. Collaborative mapping by the Geological Survey and the Atomic Energy Commission reveals a terrain marked by numerous Test Sites and a Test Site drilling hole, reflecting the mid-century intensification of military and scientific operations in the Great Basin. An Abandoned Airstrip sits near the Boundary Area, while Tippipah Road provides access through the high plateaus.
