2012 Map of Hoover Dam

About this map

Hoover Dam stands as the central engineering landmark of this landscape, situated at the border of Nevada and Arizona within the Lake Mead Natl Recreation Area. The geography is defined by the high-water margins of Lake Mead and the winding course of the Colorado River downstream. Significant shoreline features and navigational points include Promontory Point, Cape Horn, and several sheltered inlets such as Shelter Cove and Castle Cove. Inland, the terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations like Sugarloaf Mountain and the prominent Fortification Hill. The map traces the rugged drainage patterns of Kingman Wash and the remote corridors of Horse Thief Canyon and Teakettle Pass. Localized geological interests are noted at the Paint Pots and the Nevada Hot Spring near the southern edge of the survey.
