[PW] Re: ?The other fifty areas

According to Glenn Campbell of the Area 51 Research Center, Rachel, Nevada
   
  The name Area 51 name is derived from its designation on Nevada test-site maps. Area 51, in the most literal sense, is a block of land 6 miles north-to-south by 10 miles east-to-west, bordered by the Nellis Bombing and Gunnery Range on the northwest, north, east, and south, and by the Nevada Test Site on the southwest. The designation, "Area 51," appears on the peripheral portion of Nevada Test Site maps in the 1950s and 1960s.

  Areas 1-30 -- Numbered areas of the Nevada Test Site, with numbers 13, 21, 24 and 28 missing. The sequence of numbered areas on the map follows no obvious order.
   
  Area II (Area 2) -- Munitions storage area just northeast of Nellis Air Force Base and attached to it. Also known as Nellis Area II and Lake Mead Base 
   
  Area 13 -- A small nuclear testing area in the Emigrant Valley north of Area 51. Area 13 is the site of a plutonium dispersal test known as Project 57. 
   
  Area 15 -- The numbered area of the Nevada Test Site that is immediately adjacent to Area 51. 

No mention of 31-50.

Areas 1 through 50 worth writing about. Where can I find out what's 
known about them -- and what's been guessed about them?
