Nevada Test Site infrastructure dominates this 1960 survey, providing a stark view of the Cold War nuclear testing landscape within the Yucca Flat basin. The area is subdivided into operational zones including Area 1, Area 4, and Area 9, which are connected by specialized roads like Mesa Road and the Mercury Highway. The map captures the physical evidence of atomic testing, showing multiple instances of Blast Center (Ruins), specialized Bunkers, and numerous Trenches cut into the desert floor.
