1979 Map of Pahute Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

Nellis Air Force Range and the Nevada Test Site dominate this landscape, revealing the Cold War era's heavy military and scientific footprint across the high desert. The map is meticulously partitioned into designated areas, including Area 20 and Area 12, and identifies specific facilities like the Radioactive Waste Dump near Yucca Flat. This restricted zone contrasts sharply with the traces of earlier pioneer industry located on the western fringes, where the Pioneer Mine and Clarkdale Mine sit near the edge of Sarcobatus Flat.
