Area 51 is located in Lincoln County, Nevada and it is shaped by some mountain ranges. Groom Lake is a place inside the middle of the mountain ranges and the air base lies on the southwest corner of the lake. The air base has two concrete runways and one of them extends onto the lake bed. There are also two unprepared runways on the lake. Area 51 shares a border with the Yucca Flats region. The nuclear weapons storage facility is located in the Yucca Mountains; it is 40 miles southwest of Groom Lake. Area 51 is connected to an internal road network. Paved roads lead to a town called Mercury northwest and west to the Yucca Flats. Groom Lake Road runs through the Jumbled Hills and it used to be a track leading to the mines in Groom Basin. There is a winding road that takes it past a security checkpoint then Gloom Lake Road lowers eastward to the floor of Tikaboo Valley. Then it passes dirt-road entrances to small ranches. After that it joins up with State Highway 375, now renamed Extraterrestrial Highway.
