The South Virgin Mountains dominate this arid landscape, where the state boundary between Nevada and Arizona cuts through the desert floor. The map captures a transition from the elevated Azure Ridge down toward the northern reaches of Lake Mead. The southeastern corner shows the inlet of Grand Wash Bay and the drainage of Grand Wash, illustrating how the desert hydrology funnels into the reservoir within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
