1953 Map of Iceberg Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The waters of Lake Mead dominate this mid-century desert landscape, where the Colorado River winds through the narrow walls of Iceberg Canyon. This survey captures the region during a period of active mineral exploration, evidenced by a high density of remote mining sites such as the Nevada Mica Mine, Radio Crystal Mine, and Lakeshore Mine. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations like Jumbo Peak and Gregg Peak, which loom over the deep inlets of Devils Cove and Grand Wash Bay. Evidence of earlier transit and isolated outposts remains visible through the Scanlon Dugway and a jeep trail crossing the Hiller Mountains. The map also documents the Nevada-Arizona state line and the Clark and Mohave county boundary as they bisect the submerged canyons and high ridges of the Indian Hills.
