1952 Map of Cane Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Nevada Test Site occupies the heart of this landscape, reflecting a pivotal era of mid-century desert activity. The geography is defined by broad basins like Yucca Flat and Jackass Flats, connected by strategic infrastructure such as the Mercury Highway. While the terrain is dominated by high ridges like Skull Mountain and Shoshone Mountain, the human history is found in scattered outposts. The Wahmonie (Site) and the Horn Silver Mine recall earlier mining interests that predated the region's federal transformation. Aviation and communication links are evident through the Yucca Landing Strip and a prominent Telephone Line. Seasonal water features like Cane Spring Wash and Neilson Wash illustrate the drainage patterns of this arid environment, leading toward the dry expanse of Yucca Lake.
