2012 Map of Boulder City SW

About this map

Eldorado Valley dominates this 2012 survey, revealing a landscape defined by desert hydrology and public recreation management southwest of Boulder City. The central feature is the extensive Dry Lake basin, which serves as a natural catchment area for seasonal runoff. This arid geography is further managed through a series of water control features including the Murshe Reservoir, C C C Reservoir, and Dry Lake Reservoir, illustrating the critical role of water infrastructure in the Nevada desert. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the protected lands of the Lake Mead National Rec Area, showing the intersection of open basin terrain and federally managed conservation zones. A single primary thoroughfare, Eldorado Valley Dr, provides the main access point across this expanse, marking the light human footprint on this high-desert environment during the early 21st century.
