1967 Map of Tybo SE

About this map

Central Nevada Test Site Base Camp stands as a significant marker in this arid landscape, a site mapped in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission during a period of intense federal activity in the desert. The terrain transitions from the high, carved walls of Fairbanks Canyon, Red Rock Canyon, and Music Canyon in the west down toward the broad expanse of Hot Creek Valley. Sparse human presence is evidenced by isolated water sources like Pedro Well, Tybo Well, and Fallini Well, essential outposts for ranching or mining operations in the region. Near the northern boundary, a Cem and the course of Tybo Creek indicate the remnants of earlier local habitation, while a Landing Strip and Sewage Disposal Pond serve the base camp's modern operations.
