Near the south side, looking west to the point where the rim is nonexistent! Again, the location is off.

On the south side, where the rim is low to non-existent. Apparently most of the ejected debris was being blown to the northeast. Again, the position is off and I can't change it.

On the south side, looking toward the high part of the rim to the northeast. Again, the position is off and I can't find how to change it.

On the north side, looking toward the highest part of the rim to the southeast. Apparently the winds were coming from the southwest during the eruption, because most of the erupted debris ("tephra") piled up to the northeast! Most of the tephra is just sediment that was ejected in the explosion, but it includes some basaltic cinders derived from the magma body. They're the dark particles.

On the north side. The location is off and apparently the location adjustment no longer exists.

Looking east from the Lahontan Mtns. US 50/Lincoln Highway is barely visible out in that flat. Granite Springs Range on the horizon--site of an underground nuclear test (Project Shoal) in the early 1960s.

Looking east up White Cloud Canyon in the Stillwater Range. White Cloud mining district, Churchill county, Nevada. This area produced small amounts of copper ore from the late 1800s up thru the 1950s or so. A marginal base-metal operation like this is a great way to make a small fortune...provided, of course, you start with a _large_ fortune.
