This is the site of many protests protesting nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site.

"From 1986 through 1994, the site became a magnet for anti-nuclear demonstrators. Tens of thousands congregated at Peace Camp on the road to the government town of Mercury. More than 15,740 were arrested." (in an article in the Las Vegas Review Journal Article about History of Battle Born Nevada.)
