2015 Map of Boulder Beach

About this map

Lake Mead dominates the landscape of this Nevada-Arizona border region, where the intricate shoreline of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area creates a complex network of coves and islands. On the western shore, the outskirts of Boulder City transition into the arid peaks of the River Mountains and Black Mtn, providing a stark geological contrast to the massive water reservoir. Significant engineering works are visible near the coast, including the River Mountains Tunnel and water regulation infrastructure like Regulating Tank Number Two. The map details popular recreational points along the southwestern shore, from North Beach and Swim Beach down to Special Events Beach and the protected waters of Boulder Harbor. Farther out in the lake, geological features like Saddle Island and the Boulder Islands chain mark the submerged topography of the basin.
