About this map

The Colorado River defines the tri-state border region where California, Arizona, and Nevada meet near the settlement of Cross Roads. This desert landscape is characterized by prominent peaks and mountain ranges, including the Whipple Mountains to the northwest and the Buckskin Mountains to the east. Residential developments and recreational corridors like the Parker Dam RD and Cienega Springs sit along the riverbanks, contrasted by the arid expanses of the Mojave Desert that stretch toward Billy Mack Mtn and Lion Hill.

Local infrastructure is concentrated along the waterfront, with numerous named streets such as Lakeside Blvd and Marina Loop serving riverfront communities. Inland, the terrain is marked by seasonal drainages like Osborne Wash and the looming presence of Black Peak in the south. This survey captures the modern interface between the river-dependent settlements at Empire Flat and the surrounding wilderness of the Colorado River Indian Reservation lands.
