About this map

Callville Bay and the northern reaches of Lake Mead dominate this desert landscape, where the waters of Boulder Basin meet the dramatic geological formations of Clark County. The map details a complex shoreline of inlets including Swallow Bay, Hamblin Bay, and numerous small coves like Water Barge Cove and Lovers Cove. This 2014 survey illustrates the intersection of recreation and arid wilderness within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, where Northshore Rd serves as the primary artery through the desert.

Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Hamblin Mtn and the Gale Hills. Arroyos and drainage patterns such as Callville Wash, Lovell Wash, and Borax Wash trace the path of seasonal water through the Mojave Desert. Notable landmarks like the Bowl of Fire and the Fire Bowl suggest the distinct mineral coloring and heat of this environment. Hidden water sources, including Physic Spring and Cottonwood Spring, provide rare points of interest in the high desert north of Callville Point.
