2018 Map of Ireteba Peaks

About this map

The Ireteba Peaks anchor this section of the Eldorado Mountains, rising above a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and mining history. Several springs are noted across the terrain, including Grasshopper Spring and Wesselhoff Spring, which traditionally served as vital stopping points in this arid reach of the Mojave Desert. The inclusion of the Francis Mining Claim Spring points to the early prospecting activity that shaped this part of Clark County, while the eastern portion of the map covers a section of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. These topographic details illustrate the high-elevation relief between Dupont Mtn and Copper Mtn, offering a precise record of the land's contours and established boundaries prior to modern developments.
