1970 Map of Government Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Strip Mine operations and industrial tailings dominate the northwestern landscape of this Mojave Desert survey, where extraction and recreation exist side by side. The map details the northern reaches of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, tracing the rugged shoreline from Las Vegas Bay to the inlets of Swallow Bay. Above the waterline, the terrain is defined by the steep rises of the Gale Hills and the prominent Black Mesa, while drainage patterns like Gypsum Wash and Government Wash carve paths toward the reservoir.
