1986 Map of Oak Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Nevada Test Site dominates this mid-1980s landscape, revealing the specialized infrastructure and topographical scars of atomic-age activity. Central to this survey are prominent craters such as Sedan Crater, Buster-Jangle Crater, and Teapot Crater, marking the floor of Yucca Flat. These features, alongside an extensive network of drill holes, illustrate the intensity of subsurface testing. The terrain transitions from the alluvial flats to the surrounding heights of the Halfpint Range and the Rhyolite Hills, where earlier resource extraction is noted by the Climax Mine and Climax Shaft. The map also details logistical and scientific outposts like the NTS Farm Complex, the Area 2 Support Facility, and several blast centers. This specific era of documentation captures a high-density industrial and military landscape at the peak of its Cold War operational utility, before major shifts in national testing protocols.
