About this map

Harris Mountain and La Madre Mountain anchor this high-desert landscape in Clark County, revealing a terrain defined by its water sources and rugged canyons. The map tracks the passage of Harris Springs Rd through Willow Canyon, connecting the Harris Spring Ranch to the broader network of ridges like Wilson Ridge. To the south, the intersection of Lovell Summit Rd and local routes near Roberts Ranch highlights the sparse but vital settlement pattern of the area.

Hydrology is the dominant theme, with numerous named springs such as La Madre Spring, Big Timber Spring, and Bootlegger Spring sustaining life in this arid environment. The eastern edge of the quadrangle showcases significant geological features including the Sandstone Bluffs and the entrance to Red Rock Canyon. Hikers and outdoorsmen will note the Griffith Peak Trailhead, marking a point of access into the high country above The Narrows.
