2012 Map of Boulder City SE

About this map

The Eldorado Mountains dominate the landscape southeast of Boulder City in this 2012 survey, defining a terrain of steep elevation and intricate drainage patterns. In this arid reach of Clark County, water sources are rare and vital landmarks, evidenced by the presence of Forlorn Hope Spring and Davis Spring. These water features, alongside the prominent Pilot Cone, have historically served as essential waypoints for those navigating the eastern Mojave. The map also delineates the western boundary of the Lake Mead National Rec Area, where the high desert transitions toward the Colorado River basin. Desert hydrology is clearly traced through the winding paths of Quail Wash and Lonesome Wash, which converge near Oak Creek Canyon, illustrating how seasonal runoff continues to shape this protected landscape.
