About this map

Charleston Peak and the surrounding high-altitude terrain in Clark County define this 2012 survey, which documents a landscape organized around seasonal recreation and alpine residential pockets. The Lee Canyon Summer Home Area and Kyle Canyon Summer Home Area serve as primary anchors for local development, supported by a network of specialized facilities like the Lady of the Snows Chapel and Mount Charleston Lodge. The map details an extensive system of forest access, including Forest Rd 71 and Wheeler Pass Rd, which connect various remote water sources such as McWilliams Spring and Mud Springs.

Winter sports and summer camping facilities are prominent, with the Lee Canyon Ski Area, Dolomite Campground, and Clark County Youth Camp showing the intensive use of the Spring Mountains. Natural landmarks and steep relief are identified through features like The Sisters, Mummy Mountain, and Cathedral Rock, alongside numerous springs and falls that provide critical water points in this arid yet elevated environment.
