1960 Map of Yucca Flat

About this map

The Nevada Test Site in the early 1960s reveals a landscape transformed by nuclear experimentation and cold war infrastructure. Mapped by the Atomic Energy Commission, the area is partitioned into numbered zones like Area 2 and Area 7, connected by a network of underground telephone lines and the primary Mercury Highway. Evidence of high-energy testing is scattered across the flat, marked by numerous blast centers, including some specifically labeled as Blast Center (Ruins).
