2018 Map of Hiller Mountains

About this map

The Hiller Mountains and South Virgin Mountains define this arid landscape within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area at the Nevada-Arizona border. The terrain is a complex network of high desert peaks and deep drainages like Scanlon Wash and Wild Burro Wash that feed into the eastern reaches of Lake Mead. The map details the intricate shoreline of the Gregg Basin, where prominent landmarks such as Temple Mesa and Gregg Peak rise above the water. Historical interest is centered on remote locations like Greggs Hideout and navigation points along the water including Virgin Canyon and Channel Reef. This survey captures the geomorphology of the Mojave Desert floor before it meets the inundated canyons of the Colorado River system, documenting the specific bathymetry and topography of features like Hualapai Island and Round Rock Point.
