1984 Map of Point of Rocks

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Nevada Test Site boundaries dominate the northeastern portion of this mid-1980s landscape, marking a restricted zone of significant cold-war era activity. The terrain is defined by the meeting of the Specter Range and the northern reaches of the Spring Mountains, with the prominent outcrop known as Point of Rocks situated centrally along the valley floor. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes, most notably 95 and the Mercury Highway, which provide access through the arid Mercury Valley. Factual markers of infrastructure include the Natl Weather Station and Army Well No 1, reflecting the region's managed environmental and military utility. Scattered Prospects and a Borrow Pit suggest small-scale extractive attempts within the vast basins between these major mountain blocks.
