About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain of Clark County is defined here by the convergence of several high-elevation landforms, including the Eldorado Mountains to the north and the Newberry Mountains to the south. This 2021 landscape is largely managed as part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, where the high peak of Fourth of July Mtn and the distinct profile of Bill Gays Butte stand above the surrounding basins.

Historically significant water sources are documented across this arid environment, providing essential context for earlier travel and settlement patterns. Named points like Indian Spring, Boat Tank Springs, and Nicholson Spring appear alongside primitive routes such as Cottonwood Cove Rd and Six Mile Cove Rd. To the southwest, the terrain opens into the wide expanse of the Piute Valley, illustrating the varied topography between the mountain ranges and the Colorado River drainage basin.
