Airborne Reconnaissance in the Valley of Fire-Muddy Mountains Region, Nevada (open access)

Airborne Reconnaissance in the Valley of Fire-Muddy Mountains Region, Nevada

Abstract: The Valley of Fire-Muddy Mountains region, located 20 to 30 miles northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, was given approximately 25-percent airborne radioactive coverage during the fall of 1954.

One new uranium-bearing sedimentary horizon was discovered by the airborne reconnaissance. Of 15 anomolies detected, only 11 were posted as the remainder were claimed at the time of the survey.
