About this map

Nevada Test Site technical installations and monitoring infrastructure dominate this early 1960s survey of the high desert. Prepared in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the landscape is defined by the dry bed of Yucca Lake and the industrial-scientific corridor of Mercury Highway. This map reveals the dense network of instrumentation required for nuclear testing, including specialized structures like the Smoky Senior 500s Radio Tower, numerous camera towers, and the News Nob observation point.
