2021 Map of La Madre Mountain

About this map

The Springs Mountains and the massive La Madre Mtn define this transition from the high desert peaks to the western edge of Las Vegas. This map documents a high-traffic recreational landscape within the Mojave Desert, anchored by the Red Rock Canyon corridor. It reveals an intricate network of pathways including the Keystone Thrust Trl and the Grand Circle Trl, which navigate between the striking geological formations of the Calico Hills and the Sandstone Bluffs. Water sources such as White Rock Spring, Ash Creek Spring, and Calico Spring are noted along the drainages of Red Rock Wash. From the Red Rock Visitor Center along Charleston Bl to the steep relief of Bridge Mtn, the map details how this protected area serves as a rugged gateway just miles from urban Nevada.
