1952 Map of Specter Range

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Nevada Proving Grounds and the southern edge of the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range define the northern half of this Cold War-era landscape. Established during a period of intensive atomic testing, the area includes Camp Desert Rock, a military installation that supported exercises in the nearby Mercury Valley. The infrastructure reflects the high-security requirements of the time, featuring an Airstrip, a dedicated Telephone Line, and an Aqueduct cutting through the arid terrain.
