Description of Search Area.
A segment of the Silvebell Peak, Arizona, 1959 quadrangle (15 minute series, contour interval 40 feet) illustrating the six square mile area used for this experiment. Range 9 East, Township 11 South, Sections 11, 12, 13, 14, 23, and 24 oulined in black. A larger Figure 1 (58 K) can be seen here. From the point of view of the management of the experiment the search area was attractive for two other reasons. First, it contained sufficient 4WD trails to allow the deployment of the victims with relative ease. Second, it was in a sufficiently remote area that only people associated with the experiment were likely to be present during an experiment. Typical Sonoran desert vegetation within the test area. A larger Figure 2 (85 K) can be seen here.
