1983 Map of Azure Ridge

About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the high desert terrain of the Million Hills meets the jagged topography of Azure Ridge. This 1983 provisional survey captures a remote wilderness crossing the Nevada Arizona border, characterized by a complex network of dry washes and canyons. The presence of the Indian Trail winding through the southwestern section suggests a long-standing corridor for movement through this arid environment, connecting water sources like Summit Spring and New Spring Wash. Significant geological features such as the Lava Bed in the north and the deep incision of Immigrant Canyon provide a detailed look at the erosional patterns and volcanic history of the region before modern development reached these borders.
