About this map

Nellis Air Force Range and the Nevada Test Site dominate this 1970s landscape, illustrating the heavy footprint of the Cold War and atomic research in the Nevada desert. The map reveals the intricate network of the Pahute Mesa and Timber Mountain regions, where the land was repurposed for military and scientific use. Along with tactical infrastructure like a tracking station and various landing strips, the map documents early industrial remnants such as the Clarkdale Mine and Yellow Gold Mine near the Tolicha Peak.
