2021 Map of Iceberg Canyon

About this map

The dramatic meeting of Nevada and Arizona is defined here by the waters of Lake Mead and the winding course of Iceberg Canyon. Within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the landscape is a complex network of inundated canyons and high desert ridges. Water features such as Grand Wash Bay and Grand Wash Canyon dominate the eastern portion, while the western side transitions into the Mojave Desert and the broken terrain of Hells Kitchen. Significant topographic markers like Iceberg Ridge and Wheeler Ridge frame the waterway, leading toward landmarks like Iceberg Reef and Iceberg Rapid. This area represents a critical intersection of hydrological management and desert wilderness, where seasonal flows from Connoly Wash and Indian Hills Wash meet the permanent reservoir. From the heights of the Million Hills to the secluded coves like Crappie Cove and Sunfish Cove, the map illustrates the intricate shoreline of this desert oasis.
