1986 Map of Tippipah Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Nevada Test Site dominates this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the intersection of natural desert topography and Cold War-era utility. Centered on the rugged slopes of the Eleana Range and Shoshone Mountain, the map documents a network of infrastructure including the Tippipah Highway and specialized facilities like the Area 1 Shaker Plant. This high-desert terrain is characterized by broad alluvial washes such as Red Canyon Wash and Gap Wash that drain toward the eastern expanse of Yucca Flat. Notable landmarks like Big Butte and the Sugar Loaves punctuate the northern sections, while Tippipah Spring provides a rare hydrologic marker in a region otherwise marked by scattered wells, prospects, and industrial gravel pits.
