1961 Map of Specter Range NW

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Nevada Test Site dominates this early 1960s topographic study, reflecting the Atomic Energy Commission's intensive activity in the Nye County desert. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Specter Range and Skull Mountain, with the low-lying Rock Valley and Mercury Valley serving as corridors for military and research operations. Transport and communication infrastructure, crucial for the site's mission, are evident through the Jackass Flats Road and a remote Radio Facility perched at a high elevation. This map documents a period when the Camp Desert Rock Military Reservation was a focal point for personnel and logistics. Localized industrial traces like a Gravel Pit and Sandpit illustrate the ongoing construction and support needs within this secure government zone.
