1973 Map of Boulder Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Lake Mead dominates this 1973 orthophotoquad, showing the intricate shoreline and developed recreational areas on the Nevada-Arizona border. The aerial perspective reveals the detailed geography of Las Vegas Bay and the specialized infrastructure at Boulder Harbor. The arid, high-contrast terrain surrounding the water features illustrates the stark landscape of the eastern Mojave Desert before decades of further development. Traces of the original Colorado River path are visible within the reservoir's expanse, providing a visual bridge between the natural desert floor and the man-made lake. Significant features like Boulder Beach are clearly defined, showing the parking areas and access points used by visitors during the early 1970s.
