Created as a top-secret outpost on a desolate mesa in the New Mexico desert-exclusively for the purpose of assembling the world's first atomic weapon-Los Alamos was transformed during the Cold War into a high-powered science complex and full-blown "company town," with a population of 20,000, covering 43 square miles, including schools, stores, churches, even a private ski slope.
