1961 Map of Mercury

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The town of Mercury and the high-security infrastructure of the Cold War era define this 1961 desert survey. Established as a base camp for the Nevada Test Site, the settlement is shown here with its proximity to the Mercury Highway and critical support facilities like Desert Rock Park. The map documents a landscape of specialized utility, marked by a series of infrastructure nodes such as Pumping Station 2, Pumping Station 3, and Pumping Station 4 that sustained operations in this arid environment.
