About this map

Lake Mead and its Overton Arm define this desert landscape where water meets the arid terrain of Clark County. The settlement at Echo Bay serves as a focal point for the region, supported by infrastructure including the Echo Bay Airport and Echo Bay Rd. The topography is marked by several dry washes that drain toward the reservoir, such as Calico Wash, Rogers Wash, and Echo Wash.

Notable geological and aquatic features punctuate the shoreline, from the prominent Cathedral Peaks to numerous coves like Anchor Cove and Pumphouse Bay. The reservoir's fluctuating levels are reflected in the presence of several island groups, including the Overton Islands, Heron Island, and Gull Islands. Farther inland, the deep incision of Echo Canyon provides a stark contrast to the open waters of Rogers Bay and Bluepoint Bay.
