1961 Map of Skull Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Nevada Test Site dominates this landscape in the early 1960s, a period marked by intense atomic research and nuclear testing programs. Cold War infrastructure is prominently displayed, including the specialized Area 400 and Area 401 facilities, alongside a Radioactive Waste Dump and an extensive Underground Telephone Line network. The map reveals the tension between natural landforms like Skull Mountain and the high-tech, secretive activities of the Atomic Energy Commission.
