2018 Map of Ivanpah Lake

About this map

Primm sits as a significant gateway on this 2018 survey, straddling the state line where the Nevada California border intersects the Ivanpah Valley. This arid landscape is dominated by the dry expanse of Ivanpah Lake and the eastern fringes of the Mojave Desert. The topography rises sharply to the northwest into the Clark Mountain Range, where steep contours define the local relief. The transition from the valley floor into the mountains is marked by drainage features such as Antimony Gulch. Significant modern infrastructure is visible near the border, including a developed street network with names like Silverton Rd and Dalmatia Rd, reflecting the area's role as a commercial and transit hub. The map provides a precise record of the desert's high-contrast geography, from the flat playa to the rugged slopes of the Clark range.
