About this map

The Nevada Test Site dominates this early 1950s landscape, capturing a pivotal moment in the development of American nuclear research facilities. The map reveals a high-desert environment structured for technical operations, featuring the stark drainage of Frenchman Flat and the evocative Plutonium Valley. Transportation through this restricted zone is anchored by the Mercury Highway, which connects the southern flats to the northern reaches of Yucca Flat.
