2021 Map of Boulder Beach

About this map

The rugged shoreline of Lake Mead and the northern reaches of Boulder City define this modern look at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The landscape is a study in the intersection of desert terrain and water management, where the Mojave Desert meets the deeply indented bays of Las Vegas Bay and Hemenway Harbor. The map highlights a significant outdoor infrastructure network, including the Historic Railroad Trl and the River Mountains Loop Trl, which follow the contours of the River Mountains and Black Mtn. Along the water, numerous recreational sites such as Boulder Beach, Swim Beach, and Boulder Harbor mark the transition from the arid uplands to the reservoir. Prominent island features like Saddle Island and Pyramid Island stand as landmarks within the basin, while the boundary between Clark County, Nevada, and Mohave County, Arizona, runs through the eastern waters.
