1984 Map of Ireteba Peaks

About this map

Ireteba Peaks and the high desert ridges of the Eldorado Mountains dominate this 1980s topographical study of Clark County. The landscape is a study in verticality and industrial history, featuring mining operations tucked into the canyon walls. Evidence of the region's mineral interests is clearly visible at the Rockefeller Mine and the St Louis Mine, both located on the eastern slopes. The eastern boundary of the map transitions into the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, while the western portion drops away into the flat expanse of the Eldorado Valley. The terrain is punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Dupont Mtn and Copper Mtn, providing a clear record of the complex geography between the valley floor and the Colorado River drainage basin.
