1989 Map of Groom Mine

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Groom Range dominates the eastern landscape of this Nevada survey, a stark contrast to the flat expanse of Emigrant Valley and the dry bed of Groom Lake to the south. This 1989 edition, based on earlier 1968 aerial photography, provides a detailed record of the mining operations perched on the mountain slopes. The Groom Mine and Black Metal Mine are primary features, surrounded by scattered prospects and a Mine Shaft. The map highlights a significant intersection of military and industrial activity, with the Nevada Test Site and Nellis Air Force Range converging here. A marked Restricted Access Area underscores the highly secured nature of this desert terrain, where historical silver and lead mining interests met the requirements of the late-century national security infrastructure.
