1952 Map of Frenchman Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Nevada Test Site and the Nellis Air Force Range dominate this 1952 study of the southern Nevada desert, capturing a critical landscape at the height of the early Cold War. The map details the restricted topography of the Yucca Flat and Frenchman Flat basins, separated by the prominent French Peak. This area served as the primary continental location for American nuclear testing, indicated here by the presence of the Mercury Highway and the evocative Plutonium Valley.
