2012 Map of Ireteba Peaks

About this map

Ireteba Peaks dominates the high desert landscape of Clark County in this 2012 survey, serving as a prominent landmark in the arid terrain west of the Colorado River corridor. The map details a geography defined by isolated water sources and mining history, notably featuring the Francis Mining Claim Spring, which points to the region's legacy of mineral prospecting. The eastern portion of the quadrangle transition into the protected lands of the Lake Mead National Rec Area, where the topography rises toward Dupont Mountain and Copper Mountain. Several other dispersed water points, including Grasshopper Spring, Jonah Spring, Tip Top Spring, and Wesselhoff Spring, illustrate the critical importance of these rare hydrological features for both historical wildlife and early human activity in the Mojave Desert.
