About this map

The Yuma Proving Ground dominates this arid landscape at the close of the 1980s, revealing a terrain shaped by both military utility and geological extremes. The southern portion of the map is defined by the high relief of the Tank Mountains, where numerous prospects and adits indicate a history of mineral exploration in the remote desert. Water sources, vital for survival and operations in this environment, are clearly marked at White Tanks, a standalone Water Tank, and various guzzler locations.
