About this map

Nevada Test Site operations dominate this desert landscape, where technical and military infrastructure surrounds the dry expanse of Frenchman Lake. Established in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the area is marked by specialized structures including the Blast Center, the Kay Blockhouse, and multiple bunkers such as the Sugar Bunker and Triple Point Bunker. These features, alongside identified Ruins and Radioactive Waste Dump sites, reflect the intense period of mid-century nuclear testing and scientific observation.
