About this map

Boulder Basin and the southern reaches of Lake Mead define this 2012 survey, illustrating the recreational and infrastructure landscape near Boulder City. The map documents the extensive shoreline of the Boulder Canyon Project Federal Reservation, featuring established public access points such as Boulder Beach, North Beach, and South Beach. This era shows a complex network of aquatic geography, from the deep waters of the basin to the intricate inlets of Pumphouse Cove, Hatchery Cove, and Horsepower Cove.

Onshore, the map traces the developed facilities including the Boulder Beach Campground and the Hemenway Campground, alongside infrastructure like Regulating Tank Number Two. Terrain features such as the River Mountains and Black Mountain rise above the shoreline, while numerous islands including Saddle Island, Pyramid Island, and the Boulder Islands emerge from the water. The settlement at Fredellen is noted at the southern edge, connected to the waterfront via Las Vegas Bay Rd.
