Looks like there used to be several Titan missile silos up there back in the day.

    I know a lot of contemporary silos in the region are like that, nondescript fenced-in sites with one or two Air Force security guards randomly stashed in the mountains. 1990 would have still been at Cold War operating levels so they're probably all throughout the area.

    Yeah that's my assumption as well. The saturation of that area was surprising. I looked at my state out of curiosity and it was what you'd expect, population centers and military bases, but nothing to that degree.
