1961 Map of Busted Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range and the Nevada Test Site dominate this 1961 survey, which was updated through 1983 in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission. The landscape is defined by the massive ridge of Yucca Mountain and the expansive desert of Jackass Flats. These restricted government lands were mapped with high precision, noting the drainage systems of Yucca Wash and Fortymile Wash that cut through the arid terrain. Notable geographic landmarks include the distinctive Busted Butte and the Calico Hills in the northeast. This edition reveals the limited physical infrastructure of the era, consisting primarily of isolated vertical control stations like VABM Iron 4161 and Well J-12, alongside sparse networks of unnamed tracks and a single Jeep Trail winding through Fortymile Canyon.
