Interesting Google Earth Images – Nevada

September 15, 2014 by evan 1 Comment

Nevada has an interesting history with unique sites, some of which can only been seen using Google Earth. Here are some noteworthy images I have found. You will need to open Google Earth and paste the latitude/longitude locations below.

Someone is possibly sending a message from the desert floor. Strange symbols. Google Earth location : 39°52’36.27″N, 118°23’54.08″W
Yes, a mock submarine in the desert likely used for testing pilots. Notice the bomb marks. Google Earth location : 39°54’27.32″N, 118°19’20.18″W
State historic remains of a United States Army Fort Churchill and waystation on the Pony Express and Central Overland Routes – dating back to the 1860s. Google Earth location : 39°17’33.53″N, 119°16’16.07″W

What causes these shapes? Is this natural or caused by some kind of experiment? Formed from lava? …or by Area 51 tests? Google Earth location : 38°23’0.47″N, 116° 4’9.11″W
The site of the “Spirit Cave” where in 1996 previously found mummies were determined to be 9,400 years old, older than any previously known North American mummy. Google Earth location : 39°25’6.46″N, 118°37’16.85″W
This would be an interesting drive, it looks like an earthquake split the highway. The truth is Hwy 722 is actually fine. Google Earth location : 39°15’22.82″N, 117°44’35.82″W

Did you know you can follow the Pony Express Trail using Google Earth? This is a tiny portion of the Pony Express Trail from the Shoshone Range across the north Dry Lake in the Smith Creek Valley. Google Earth location : 39°22’27.20″N, 117°26’51.10″W
A nuclear test in 1962 resulted in this large crater. According to Wikipedia, “The explosion created fallout that affected more US residents than any other nuclear test.” Google Earth location : 37°10’36.76″N, 116° 2’46.58″W
This is a bombing target in a restricted part of Nevada Google Earth location : 37.563838,-116.85115

Or is this a lost city? Very curious. Google Earth location : 39°44’2.53″N, 119° 2’13.30″W
The BREN TOWER is a huge 1,486ft tall used to experiment with dangerous gamma rays and neutrons. The very tall tower is now gone. Next Google update… no tower. Google Earth location : 36°46′50.23″N 116°14′36.9″W
This 1865 Mormon settlement is normally deep under Lake Mead’s water, but it is now visible. Google Earth location : 36°28’0.94″N, 114°22’18.00″W
