Nellis Air Force Range and the Nevada Test Site intersect across this high-desert terrain, reflecting a pivotal era of Cold War military activity in Nye County. The landscape is dominated by the massive dome of Timber Mountain, with its twin summits at North Timber Peak 7422 and South Timber Peak 7239 overlooking a complex network of dry drainage systems. In cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, this survey records the early infrastructure of the testing grounds, including several Jeep Trails and unnamed roads that snake through the canyons.
