2014 Map of Frenchman Mountain

About this map

Sunrise Mtn and the Frenchman Range dominate this desert landscape east of the developing suburban edge at Sunrise Manor. This 2014 survey captures a moment of topographical clarity in the Mojave Desert, where the stark transition from urban growth to the protected expanse of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area is clearly defined. Notable geological landmarks like Lava Butte and the Gale Hills rise above the complex network of drainage washes, including Gypsum Wash and Lava Butte Wash. The map traces primary access routes such as E Lake Mead Blvd and Northshore Rd, providing essential context for the area's hydrology and land management boundaries during the early 21st century. Significant features like Gypsum Spring and the Rainbow Gardens area offer specific points of interest for those studying the intersection of geology and local topography in Clark County.
