2018 Map of Callville Bay

About this map

Callville Bay and its bustling marina serve as the primary hub for activity along this rugged stretch of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The landscape is dominated by complex desert topography, featuring deep drainage systems like Callville Wash, West End Wash, and Borax Wash that cut through the surrounding desert towards the Lake Mead shoreline. The varied terrain includes the striking Bowl of Fire and the Gale Hills to the north, while the southern reaches are defined by a jagged coastline of secluded inlets, including Finger Cove, Rufus Cove, and Swallow Bay. Water sources in this arid environment are sparsely distributed, noted by remote points such as Physic Spring and Cottonwood Spring. This map reveals how the modern recreation economy utilizes the desert's interface with the reservoir, from the heights of Hamblin Mtn down to the submerged features like Flamingo Reef.
