1960 Map of Frenchman Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Nevada Test Site operations define the landscape of this 1960 survey, revealing the infrastructure of early Cold War atomic testing. The map centers on the dry basin of Frenchman Lake, where a specific Blast Center is noted alongside a concentration of hardened structures. Numerous Bunkers, including specialized sites like the Sugar Bunker, Triple Point Bunker, and the Kay Blockhouse, are scattered across the desert floor. This area, largely within the Nellis Air Force Range, shows a unique industrial and military geography, featuring several Radioactive Waste Dumps and complex networks of Jeep Trails. Beyond the testing grounds, the natural terrain is bounded by Massachusetts Mountain and the Ranger Mountains, with isolated water sources like Cane Spring providing rare natural landmarks in the arid Frenchman Flat region.
