About this map

The Nevada Test Site dominates this mid-1980s landscape, revealing the specialized infrastructure of atomic-era testing. Centered on Plutonium Valley, the terrain is marked by numerous drill holes and multiple Blast Center locations, indicators of the underground and surface activities that defined this high-security zone. The topography transitions from the high peaks of Massachusetts Mountain and French Peak down to the stark dry basins of Yucca Lake and Frenchman Flat.
