About this map

Boulder City serves as the focal point of this Nevada landscape, positioned on a high plateau between the River Mountains to the north and the Eldorado Mountains to the south. The city's organized street grid, including Adams Blvd and Buchanan Blvd, transitions into a dense network of recreational paths like the River Mountains Loop Trl and Upper Lake View Trl, reflecting the area's modern identity as a gateway for outdoor enthusiasts. This 2021 survey illustrates how the settlement manages its desert environment, with Hemenway Wash and Quail Wash carving drainage paths through the Mojave Desert floor.

Institutional presence is substantial on the city's periphery, marked by the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cem and the Boulder City Municipal Airport. To the east, the terrain descends toward the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, where the rugged geography of North Fork Boy Scout Canyon and South Fork Boy Scout Canyon defines the approach to the Colorado River corridor. The map provides precise detail for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of municipal sites like the Boulder City Municipal Cem.
