1986 Map of Frenchman Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Nevada Test Site and the Nellis Air Force Range dominate this mid-1980s topograhic view, where government operations intersect with the stark geography of the Frenchman Flat. At the center of the sheet lies Frenchman Lake, a dry lake bed or playa containing a specific Blast Center, signifying the area's legacy of nuclear testing and scientific research. To the west, the Massachusetts Mountain Range rises above the basin, while the eastern boundary is marked by the Desert National Wildlife Range and the Desert Range. The map reveals a specialized landscape of security and infrastructure, featuring multiple Drill Holes, a Radio Tower, and a Water Tank Pumping Sta. Hydrological features like Cane Spring and the Winapi Wash provide a contrast to the high-security Restricted Access Area that cordons off much of the terrain.
