About this map

The settlement of Tybo and the Central Nevada Test Site Base Camp define this late 1960s landscape in Hot Creek Valley. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of the Hot Creek Range down into the broad valley floor, where infrastructure for mid-century atomic energy research is clearly visible. Water management in this arid environment is documented through isolated points like Pedro Well, Tybo Well, and Fallini Well, alongside Tybo Creek.

Evidence of local history and logistics is scattered across the quadrant, including a small Cem near the primary settlement and a functional Landing Strip. The presence of the Sewage Disposal Pond and specialized base camp markers highlights the area's specific role in supporting the Atomic Energy Commission's activities during this era of federal research in Nye County. To the west, the topography is carved by deep drainages including Fairbanks Canyon, Red Rock Canyon, and Music Canyon.
