1961 Map of Yucca Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Nevada Test Site dominates this 1961 landscape, specifically within the boundaries of Area 6 and Area 5. Published by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the map details a high-security desert environment characterized by the dry expanse of Yucca Flat and Yucca Lake. The infrastructure of the Cold War era is evident in the network of sensors and communication points, including the Smoky Senior Radio Tower, several instances of a Camera Tower, and a dedicated Weather Station.
