1952 Map of Groom Mine

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Groom Mine and the Black Metal Mine anchor the eastern slopes of the Groom Range in this 1952 study. This high-desert landscape is defined by its transition from industrial mining to mid-century military operations, with the Nellis Air Force Range and the Nevada Test Site occupying the western and southern reaches. To the east, the vast expanse of Groom Lake provides a stark contrast to the mountainous terrain, serviced by a remote Landing Strip and Landing Field.
