Boulder City serves as the gateway to this arid landscape in Clark County, where the transition from the level expanse of the Eldorado Valley meets the sharp relief of the Eldorado Mountains. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its desert hydrology and high-contrast topography, featuring landmarks such as the Pilot Cone and the winding course of Quail Wash. The map details the western reaches of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, providing a precise record of public lands and topographical features at the edge of the Mojave Desert. Local history researchers can identify specific water sources like Forlorn Hope Spring and Davis Spring, which were vital markers in this dry environment. The presence of Oak Creek Canyon and Lonesome Wash further illustrates the complex drainage patterns that shape the terrain south of the city.
