About this map

Lake Mead and the Boulder Basin dominate this early 1980s landscape at the border of Clark and Mohave counties. The geography is defined by a series of desert washes, including Bitter Spring Wash, Lovell Wash, and West End Wash, which carve through the Gale Hills and the vivid Bowl of Fire. Along the shoreline, a developed recreation infrastructure is evident at Callville Bay, featuring boat ramps, boat docks, and campgrounds near Callville Point.

Mineral exploration is recorded through several scattered prospects and prospect sites north of the reservoir, particularly near Borax Wash. The map also captures the intricate coastline of Hamblin Bay, marked by numerous smaller inlets such as Sandy Cove, Fire Bowl Cove, and Rotary Cove. This period shows the region's primary function as the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, balancing recreational development with the desert's primitive 4WD track network.
