1961 Map of Striped Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Nevada Test Site boundaries dominate the northern half of this 1961 survey, where the arid expanse of the Amargosa Desert meets the high elevations of Little Skull Mountain. The landscape is defined by vast alluvial fans and dry watercourses like Topopah Wash and Rock Valley Wash. In the center of the sheet, the Striped Hills rise sharply above Rock Valley, showing a complex geological terrain that necessitated cooperation between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Atomic Energy Commission.
