This rapid-fire upgrade in technologies combined with both nations’
relentless manufacture of missiles left a quiet mark across the remote
parts of each country. Early-generation nuclear missile silos were left
to rust and quietly collapse, marking the map like a secret Braille. To
the uninitiated, defunct Cold War sites give little outward indication
of their former purpose. Many of these facilities were designed to be
obscure, showing only a small surface footprint that barely hinted at
the extent of what was hidden just below the earth’s surface. Aside from
former missileers and a small, passionate network of urban explorers,
these long-ago vacated sites remain largely unknown, scattered across
the globe in varying states of decay.
