-“Yueca Basin is a valley roughly 10 X 20 miles extending

northward from the Control Point.

It has considerable relatively

level land, and an extensive dry lake on which an air landing

strip has been laid out. Near the Control Point end of the basin
are News Nob and other official observer sites. Twelve firing
sites have been laid out in the basin. Developed sites may have
instrumentation towers, underground instrumentation bunkers, other
types of recording equipment and structures, and such items as
rocket launchers and mortars used to put up trails or puffs of
smoke useful in making measurements.

Areas have been developed

for air drops and for tower, surface, tunnel, and balloon place-

ments.

Some areas are suitable for more than one such type of

placement.
