1958 Map of Boulder City SE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Eldorado Mountains dominate this 1958 landscape, presenting a stark expanse of high desert terrain southeast of Boulder City. A significant portion of the eastern survey falls within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, reflecting the mid-century management of these public lands. The map documents a topography defined by steep ridges and deep drainage systems, most notably Oak Creek Canyon and the evocatively named Lonesome Wash. Isolated water sources like Forlorn Hope Spring provide critical landmarks in an otherwise arid environment. A single Private road cuts across the northwest corner, but the rest of the sheet remains largely untracked, save for elevation benchmarks like VABM 3513 Peeper. This survey captures the region just as it was becoming a primary destination for desert recreation and conservation.
