About this map

Lake Mohave and the Colorado River dominate this desert landscape, forming the state boundary between Nevada and Arizona. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems, including Techatticup Wash, Capitol Wash, and Aztec Wash, which carve through the arid heights of the Mojave Desert. This 2014 survey captures the area within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, highlighting geological features like Lower Black Canyon and the prominent peak of Fire Mountain to the east.

The map details the intersection of rugged topography and managed water resources. From the landmark of Two Rocks near Eldorado Canyon to the southern reaches where the river widens, the chart provides a precise look at the township and range lines across Clark and Mohave counties. Local landmarks such as Lonesome Wash and Aurora Wash illustrate the complex hydrography that shapes this part of the Southwest.
