Area 51 is a rectangular area of approximately 155 km² in Lincoln County, Nevada, approximately 100 miles or 160 km from Las Vegas. It is part of the vast (12,140 km) territory occupied by the Nellis Air Force (Nellis Air Force Range or NAFRI). Area 51 is made up mainly of the Emigrant valleys, bounded by the Groom and Papoose ranges, respectively, to the north and south, and the hilly hills to the east. Between the two canals is Sponsus Lake, which is a nearly dry lake about 5 km in diameter. To the south of the lake there is a military airport with concrete piers, one of which is now abandoned and continues in the lake, and four tracks in the lake itself.
The area has three tracks 51 in operations. The main section is 14L/32R, concrete surface, with a length of 3,650 m by 60 m wide with an overflow area of 300 m at each end. The second bridge, 12/30, which also serves, is 1,650 m long by 45 m wide. the nearly 10 km long (six miles) bridge was closed. There is over 3,800 m of concrete surface, 3,400 m of asphalt and 1,600 m and 800 m of asphalt in poor condition at the north and south ends, respectively. There are at least three signs of distinct groups, suggesting that the track was never used in its entire length at one time. Currently, only a 2,000 m portion has been identified, forming the 14R/32L bridge. The mud tracks on the lake bed are even and have a length of up to 3,400 m. They served with strong winds.
On the west slope are many aircraft hangars of various sizes, factories, terminal planes, JANET, dormitories that can accommodate more than a thousand people, a gymnasium with a swimming pool, a cafeteria, various office buildings and even a baseball field. At the southern end of the base, concrete is being processed to form the new building’s structural foundations. Further south there are still fortifications where weapons are stored. To the north of the extreme base, dried up by the shores of the lake, antennas of various models are arranged. Right next to the ballpark of the baseball field, the ditches are now being filled in, where they were once devastated.
Area 51 shares its border with the western Yucca Flats area located in Nevada (NTS), where the Department of Energy United States< He did many nuclear experiments. The nuclear waste deposit at Yucca Mountain is approximately 65 km southwest of Groom Lake. The area is connected by way of the NTS network, with paved roads to Mercury Street and Yucca Flats on the north side. To the north east of the lake, the road of the Bridegroom Lake, a dirt road in good condition, through the hills of the hills confused by the wind. Sponsus Lake Road is an old road that led to the mines in the Sponsus Canal. It is better to close the tunnels. Break through the gate, but the security perimeter surrounding the base lies a km further east. After the border of the restricted area, marked by several warning signs that indicate "any photography is prohibited" and "the use of force that may lead to death is permitted” Spouse Lake Road up to the valley Tikaboo, before crossing several villages before joining the road 375, christened extraterrestrial to the south of the town of Rachel.
