1953 Map of Iceberg Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Lake Mead and the Colorado River dominate this desert landscape where the borders of Clark County, Nevada, and Mohave County, Arizona, meet. This early 1950s survey captures the region's transition into a recreational hub following the creation of the reservoir, yet it remains heavily marked by the legacy of extraction. Mining prospects like the Nevada Mica Mine, Eureka Mine, and Joker Mine are scattered across the high ground of the Hiller Mountains and the Jumbo Basin. The map provides significant underwater detail through depth contours in Gregg Basin and near Virgin Reef, reflecting sedimentation studies of the era. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks such as the Jumbo Jeep Trail and the historic Scanlon Dugway, while named landmarks like Hualapai Island and Sandy Point define the shifting shoreline of the Lake Mead National Recreational Area.
