2018 Map of Bridge Canyon

About this map

Laughlin and the surrounding desert landscape of Clark County are defined by sharp topographical relief and vital water sources in this 2018 survey. The terrain transitions from the Mojave Desert floor into the high elevations of the Newberry Mountains, where landmarks like Little Peak and Conical Peak rise above the drainage networks. A network of springs, including Hiko Springs, Quail Spring, and Moss Spring, provided historical points of survival and settlement in this arid environment. Significant portions of the land are protected within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which preserves the dramatic geology of Bridge Canyon and Grapevine Canyon. The southern edge of the map shows the modern expansion of Laughlin, with suburban developments such as James A Bilbray Pkwy and Cottage Canyon St pressing against the wilderness.
