1961 Map of Striped Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Nevada Test Site lands dominate the northern half of this topographic study, where the arid basin and range topography meets restricted federal territory. The landscape is defined by the massive elevation of Little Skull Mountain and the distinctively eroded Striped Hills to the south. This area, mapped in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, shows a terrain shaped by dry drainage systems including Topopah Wash and Rock Valley Wash. Notable infrastructure within the high-desert environment includes a remote Weather Station and a Tunnel situated among the ridges. The survey captures the transition from the broad Amargosa Valley and Cane Desert into the rugged peaks of the Specter Range, reflecting the mid-century intersection of military testing grounds and the Nevada wilderness.
