About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates this desert landscape, where the waters of Lake Mead meet the dramatic rising terrain of the Black Mountains and Muddy Mountains. The intricate shoreline is defined by numerous inlets including Rogers Bay, Calico Bay, and Pumphouse Bay, which create a complex geography of peninsulas and coves. The settlement of Echo Bay serves as a central hub for the region, supported by infrastructure like the Echo Bay Airport and access via Northshore Rd.

Remote landforms such as Cathedral Peaks and the Blue Slide overlook the Virgin Basin and Overton Arm, illustrating the stark elevation changes between the water level and the surrounding peaks. This 2014 survey captures the late-modern configuration of the reservoir and its named islands, including Bighorn Island, Ramshead Island, and Heron Island, providing a clear record of the recreational and natural features within this protected Nevada corridor.
