1986 Map of Oak Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Nevada Test Site infrastructure and geological scars dominate this 1980s landscape in Nye County. The map provides an industrial perspective on nuclear testing history, centered on the massive Sedan Crater and neighboring impact sites like Buster-Jangle Crater, Scooter Crater, and Teapot Crater. Beyond the craters, the terrain transitions from the volcanic Rhyolite Hills to the broad expanse of Yucca Flat. Scientific and support facilities are scattered throughout the region, including the N T S Farm Complex, various substations, and a Lookout Tower. Earlier mining efforts are also evident in the north, where the Climax Mine and Climax Shaft sit near Oak Spring. This collection of drill holes, mines, and blast centers reflects the mid-century transformation of the high desert into a highly specialized technological and military proving ground.
