Area S-4 coordinates and web site

S-4 coordinates are:

N 37° 01' 40", W 115° 46' 35"

Someone google earth these coordinates!!!!

Go to the web site below for some satellite images of S-4. Scroll down just a little to where it says "Minimum Exposure". I've never been to this web site before or seen these satellite images...

The link asks for a username and password...

EDIT: Oh and here's where those coordinates point to. maps.google.com...'+40%22,+W+115%C2%B0+46'+35%22&spn=0.597834,1.482056&t=k&hl=en nothing to see really.

And is there any way to zoom in more, or use another satellite image source like Terraserver?

You can zoom in more by clicking on the + and - buttons on the left. The satillite photo of that area isn't as high res. Not sure what it would be like on terraserver, but there's nothing stopping you from trying it out.

I know nothing about coordinates or how to use those web sites. It's not that I'm lazy, just don't know what I'm doing...

Element 115 info on that site is interesting.

Good find. However you do realize that you can just wander into any USGS office and purchase 7.5 and 15 minute quadrangles for the entire area right?

No, I wasn't aware of that. Yeah, I forgot how I even stumbled upon this web site. *trying to remember*

Just copy and paste into the search bar, it's as simple as that. (for google maps, don't know about terraserver)

Here are the ones that blanket the area.

Castle Spring Quadrangle
Groom Range NE
Groom Range SE
Groom Range SW
Groom Mine
Groom Mine NW

Covers Groom Lake and Papoose as well as the Groom Mountain Range etc

This is very interesting, but how did you find the username and password combination. I'm sorry, but if you just stumble onto a website, you wouldn't be able to just "guess" such a password. I'm not doubting you or anything, I would just like to tie up a few loose ends.

Yeah I was kinda worried about that myself....until I went to the home page of the link he provided.

Thank you KL , I suppose that the home page would have been a good place to look. I don't understand the point of a username/password combination when they're provided for you?

maybe the website was private for a time but now decided to be made public and cant be aresed to change the code.

Thats because you didn't put in the whole coordinate....
