1961 Map of Mine Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Nevada Test Site defines the geography of this mid-century topographic survey, produced in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission. The landscape is characterized by its high-altitude desert basins and significant mountain ranges, including the prominent peaks of Mine Mountain and Shoshone Mountain. Access through this restricted terrain is documented via a network of unnamed Jeep Trails and specific landmarks like Mine Mountain Junction. The topographical detail captures the descent from the heights of Jackass Divide into the broad expanse of Mid Valley. Notable for its isolation, the map identifies several desolate features such as Barren Spot, Barren Butte, and the winding Barren Wash. Researchers will find a precise record of survey markers, from the VABM Tip 4896 to numerous benchmarks like BM 4907, which provided the essential data for activities in this high-security region.
