The new Nellis map is good. Since it's large, something like 3.5 by 4.75 feet, I can't really scan it properly, and I don't have any way to post it on the Web. I'll leave that to those who do that kind of stuff beter than I can do it...
It's interesting how 4808A now consists of a nearly square area, roughly 20 miles on each side, centered on Groom Lake like a bull's eye. It sits boldly, right in the middle of the map area, dominating the green restricted areas on the map, as if it wants to be noticed. If I were trying to hide an area, I wouldn't demarcate its boundaries on a map available to the public like this in such an obvious way ... but maybe that's the point.
