About this map

Frenchman Lake sits at the center of this 1960 survey, a dry playa utilized as a focal point for nuclear testing operations within the Nevada Test Site and Nellis Air Force Range. The map reveals a highly specialized landscape of the Cold War era, marked by a dense concentration of concrete structures and experimental infrastructure. Numerous installations such as the Blast Center, Triple Point Bunker, Kay Blockhouse, and Sugar Bunker are recorded across the flat, connected by an intricate network of desert tracks and the primary Mercury Highway.
