1960 Map of Tippipah Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Nevada Test Site defines the geography of this high-desert region, where the Eleana Range and Shoshone Mountain meet the western edge of Yucca Flat. In a landscape marked by strategic utility, infrastructure like the Tippipah Underground Road and an Observation Station are situated among landforms like Big Butte and the Sugar Loaves. Natural water sources, critical in this arid basin, are represented by Tippipah Spring and a nearby Water Tunnel. The map delineates specific zones including Area 1, Area 2, and Area 4, indicating the specialized division of the territory during this period of atomic research. Industrial activity is visible through Trenches, Prospects, and a Gravel Pit located along the flats, while the geological structure is punctuated by Syncline Ridge and the winding Redrock Valley.
