1959 Map of Black Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through the Eldorado Mountains in this late 1950s survey of the Arizona-Nevada border. This stretch of the river, within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, shows a transition from the narrow confines of White Rock Canyon to the broader Detrital Valley. The settlement at Willow Beach serves as a focal point for activity, featuring a State Fish Hatchery, a Ranger Sta, and a Gaging Sta.
