The GIS Surface Effects Map Archive contains a comprehensive collection of maps
showing the surface effects produced by underground nuclear testing at
the Nevada Test Site. From 1951 to 1992, scientists with the U.S. Geological
Survey and agencies of the U.S. Department of Energy used field and aerial-photo
mapping techniques to painstakingly map such surface effects as collapse
sinks, craters, cracks, fractures, faults, and pressure ridges. Shortly
after each test, a complex surface effects map was produced. Of the more
than 920 underground detonations conducted at the Nevada Test Site, 688
were mapped for surface effects. This archive preserves these original
maps in digital format.
