1958 Map of Boulder City SE

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates the eastern landscape of this 1950s survey, marking a period of federally managed land expansion in southern Nevada. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent into Oak Creek Canyon and the dry reaches of Lonesome Wash, illustrating the arid, uncompromising environment south of Boulder City. A rare water source is noted at Forlorn Hope Spring, a name that suggests the difficult conditions faced by early travelers and surveyors in the region. The map also identifies VABM 3513 Peeper, a vertical angle bench mark providing a precise elevation point for geodetic control in this high desert setting.
