1997 Map of Hoover Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates this landscape along the Colorado River at the border of Nevada and Arizona. The massive reservoir of Lake Mead is shown with its many named inlets and islands, including Swallow Bay, Shelter Cove, and Beehive Island. The map provides specific elevation data for the Hoover Dam and its spillway, alongside infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal Ponds and the nearby Sugarloaf Mtn. East of the river, the Black Mountains rise sharply, characterized by dramatic landforms such as Fortification Hill, Battleship Rock, and Wilson Ridge. This 1997 photoinspection records the established recreational geography of the dam site and the complex terrain of Black Canyon before modern landscape shifts.
