2011 Map of Davis Dam

About this map

Lake Mohave dominates the northern reaches of this Colorado River corridor, where the impounded waters fill a labyrinth of named inlets including Sour Dough Cove, Jackrabbit Cove, and Navajo Cove. At the heart of the region, the Davis Dam regulates the river's flow, flanked by the Forbay Bridge and providing the power and water infrastructure that supported the 21st-century growth of Bullhead City and Laughlin. The map details the transition from industrial utility to recreation, noting the Mohave Generating Station Reservoir alongside the Lake Mohave Resort and Katherine Landing. For researchers, the survey captures the area's intricate canyon geography, from Grapevine Canyon to Secret Pass Canyon, and identifies critical local service hubs like the Laughlin Rural Branch Post Office and the Laughlin/Bullhead City Airport.
