1952 Map of Specter Range

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Nevada Proving Grounds and the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range dominate this Cold War-era landscape, reflecting the region's mid-century military transformation. At the heart of the activity is Camp Desert Rock, complete with an Airstrip and Water Tank, serving as a primary staging area for nuclear testing personnel. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting these operations, including the Mercury Highway and a prominent Telephone Line cutting through the desert floor.
