2014 Map of Jumbo Peak

About this map

Jumbo Peak stands as a prominent high point in this corner of the Mojave Desert, marking a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and seasonal drainage systems. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, where the terrain descends toward the Colorado River basin via deep cuts like Gregg Wash and Stanton Wash. This 2014 survey reveals a network of critical water sources scattered throughout the arid environment, including Falls Spring, Grapevine Spring, and the aptly named Twin Springs. These features, along with landmarks like Hells Kitchen and Garnet Valley, provide essential context for understanding the historic navigation of the South Virgin Mountains. The intricate contouring around Bonelli Peak and Rattlesnake Peak illustrates the complex topography that has historically isolated this region of Clark County.
