2018 Map of Iceberg Canyon

About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area centers this landscape, where the waters of Lake Mead fill the deep limestone corridors of Iceberg Canyon. Straddling the state line between Nevada and Arizona, the map details the inundation of the Colorado River valley, where former river features like Iceberg Rapid and Iceberg Reef are now submerged within the lake's fluctuating reach. The surrounding terrain is defined by the high, arid peaks of the Million Hills and the Indian Hills, carved by complex drainage systems such as Connoly Wash and Cottonwood Wash. Along the shoreline, numerous inlets like Cormorant Cove, Grand Wash Bay, and Devils Cove mark the meeting of the Mojave Desert with the reservoir. Local landmarks such as Hells Kitchen and the winding Hells Kitchen Rd provide reference points for navigating the desert uplands above the canyon walls of the Cormorant Cliffs and Wheeler Ridge.
