1983 Map of Hoover Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Hoover Dam stands as the primary focus of this early 1980s topographical study, anchoring the border between Clark County, Nevada and Mohave County, Arizona. The map details the complex geography created by the impoundment of the Colorado River, including the expansive waters of Boulder Basin and the winding reaches of Black Canyon. Away from the dam infrastructure, the landscape is defined by its geological features, from the high elevation of Fortification Hill and Sugarloaf Mtn to the colorful formations at the Paint Pots. Significant inlets and shoreline landmarks such as Shelter Cove, Beehive Island, and Sentinel Island show the interface of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area with the surrounding desert. Numerous prospects and 4wd trails crisscross the desert floor, hinting at the area's mineral exploration history and its role as a recreational destination for off-road travel.
