1953 Map of Hoover Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Hoover Dam stands as the central monument of this mid-century survey, controlling the waters of the Colorado River and the expanding Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The map details the intricate shoreline of the reservoir, from Callville Bay to the Virgin Basin, showing numerous coves and islands created by the rising waters. Inland from the water's edge, the landscape is defined by the stark geology of the Gale Hills, the colorful Bowl of Fire, and the high ridges of Hamblin Mountain.
