Say, does Area 51 show up on that, or have they blotted out the UFOs, Lunar Landing Film Set, and Experimental Aircraft Development & Testing Centre?

I'll point out, for the next time this comes up, that any time you see a grey area on google maps in map mode, that's a military base.  A very large chunk of the southwest is military land.

Indeed StratComm (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Rachel,+NV&ll=37.654470,-115.863190&spn=0.759168,1.296799&hl=en) it is - click that and you're looking at a very greyed out Area 51/Goom Lake.

The thing you're linking me to is a bunch of farmland.  Exactly what all of those irrigators are doing out in the desert like that, I don't know, but that's actually OUTSIDE of the military reservation.  This (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Rachel,+NV&ll=37.240100,-115.809631&spn=0.049205,0.081050&t=k&hl=en) may be the installation you are thinking of.

I see it.

What the hell is a runway doing so far in the middle of nowhere?

Those are six runways right? 3 big, 3 small

How "convenient" you can't zoom in to that part all the way.

The closest thing I could think of is a old SAM base. But, why they would have one like that out there is beyond me.

Look more like slagheaps than holes IMO; the top seems to be too light for an indentation.

We see here (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Rachel,+NV&ll=37.043848,-116.021730&spn=0.006224,0.010131&t=k&hl=en), that the sunlight comes from south/south-east when the picture was taken. And all of the holes/slagheaps are shadowed towards that direction. Yes, the tops/bottoms are bright, I guess the sun was high enough to shine to the very bottom of the crater, so only the slopes toward SSE were in the shadow.

-> thus, methinks those are explosion craters.

And I think thats the one Bob mentioned (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Rachel,+NV&ll=37.177022,-116.046095&spn=0.006213,0.010131&t=k&hl=en). That sure was a big bang.

You're right, I think; I've read it's subsidence craters from underground nuclear test explosions.
