2018 Map of Boulder City SW

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain of southern Nevada defines this 2018 survey, centered on the broad expanse of the Eldorado Valley. The landscape is dominated by ephemeral water features, including Dry Lake and the associated Mursha Reservoir and Dry Lake Reservoir, which illustrate the arid drainage patterns of the region. To the southeast, the topography rises sharply into the Eldorado Mountains, creating a stark contrast to the level valley floor. Transportation through this desert environment is marked by McCullough Pass, a traditional route through the surrounding heights, and Eldorado Valley Dr. The map reflects the land management and resource preservation within the Boulder City boundaries, showing a region where natural desert landforms remain largely undisturbed by dense urban development.
