1952 Map of Mercury

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Mercury serves as the primary gateway to the massive Test Site and Nellis Air Force Range during the early 1950s, a period of intensive federal activity in southern Nevada. The settlement is positioned along the Mercury Highway, which cuts across the landscape toward Checkpoint Pass. The terrain is defined by the high, ridged geography of the Spotted Range, Desert Range, and Mercury Ridge, which surround the broad alluvial floor of Indian Spring Valley.
