About this map

Nevada Test Site and Nellis Air Force Range dominate this Cold War-era landscape, where military operations and high-stakes research were conducted under strict control. The map details a landscape punctuated by numerous Drill Holes, suggesting the subterranean exploration and instrumentation that defined this region's mid-century history. Sharp geographic features like Paiute Ridge, the Half Pint Range, and the Slanted Buttes provide the backdrop for specialized installations such as Camera Station Butte and Plutonium Valley.
