2021 Map of Arrow Canyon SW

About this map

Arrow Canyon Range dominates the eastern boundary of this landscape, its steep contours rising sharply above the arid basins of the Mojave Desert. The central portion of the sheet is defined by the broad, low-lying expanse of Hidden Valley, a distinct topographical depression that contrasts with the surrounding elevated terrain. This area represents a classic basin-and-range formation in Clark County, where dramatic elevation changes dictate the flow of water and the placement of transportation routes. To the southeast, the terrain opens into Dry Lake Valley, while the north-south corridor of Route 93 serves as the primary modern thoroughfare through this sparsely populated desert region. The map preserves the township and range survey lines, such as t16s r63e, which underpin the land division and resource management of the Nevada interior.
