1961 Map of Jackass Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Nevada Test Site Area 400 dominates this high-desert landscape in Nye County, showing the specialized infrastructure of the Atomic Energy Commission in the early 1960s. The terrain transitions from the jagged Calico Hills in the north down into the broad expanse of Jackass Flats, where a network of gravel roads, an underground telephone line, and an underground aqueduct support isolated outposts. Notable technical landmarks include Weather Tower Station 14, a Lookout Tower, and a Pumping Station near Well J-11.
