1970 Map of Boulder Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Lake Mead shoreline near the Nevada-Arizona border reveals a complex infrastructure of water management and mid-century recreation. Dominated by the Boulder Basin, the landscape is marked by the Alfred Merritt Smith Water Treatment Plant and a series of pumping stations and aqueducts that facilitate water transport through the River Mountains Tunnel. Along the coast, the Lake Mead Marina and Lake Mead Lodge serve as hubs for visitors to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, while an Old Railroad Grade traces the historic path used during the construction era of nearby dams. This map specifically documents the developed waterfront at Boulder Beach, showing the spatial arrangement of the Trailer Park, an Outdoor Theater, and the Visitor Center before late-century shoreline changes altered the geography of Hemenway Harbor.
