1952 Map of Tippipah Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Nevada Proving Ground and the Gunnery and Bombing Range dominate this Cold War-era landscape in Nye County, showing the region at a pivotal moment in military and scientific history. The topography is defined by the stark expanse of Yucca Flat to the east, bordered by the Mercury Highway. To the west, the terrain rises into the heights of Shoshone Mtn and Mine Mountain. Strategic water sources, vital in this arid environment, are clearly marked at Tippipah Spring, Oak Spring, and Captain Jack Spring. The map captures the infrastructure of the testing grounds including Tippipah Road and several Water Tanks, alongside geologic features like Syncline Ridge and Quartzite Mtn.
