About this map

Lake Mead dominates the southern landscape of this 2021 survey, where the intricate shoreline of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area reveals a complex network of coves and basins. The terrain transitions from the deep waters of Boulder Basin and Hamblin Bay to the high desert peaks of the Black Mountains and the distinctive Hamblin Mtn. This area is defined by its dramatic geologic formations, including the Bowl of Fire and the Gale Hills, which overlook a series of ephemeral washes like Borax Wash and Lovell Wash.

Human activity is concentrated around Callville Bay, where infrastructure such as CB Residence Rd, CB Trailer Village, and the Callville Summit Trl serve visitors and residents alike. The map also captures the convergence of natural springs and desert valleys, such as Physic Spring and Bitter Spring Valley, illustrating the vital water sources that have long shaped navigation and settlement in this arid corner of Clark County. The boundary between Nevada and Arizona cuts across the southeastern waters, marking the interstate divide near Flamingo Reef.
