Lake Havasu City anchors the shoreline of Lake Havasu, where the modern desert city meets the Colorado River system. The 2014 landscape shows the established residential grid and iconic London Bridge, while just to the south, the terrain transitions into the protected open space of the Whipple Mountains and the Mojave Desert. The map meticulously tracks the interface between water and land, detailing numerous inlets like Copper Canyon, Thompson Bay, and Steamboat Cove. This era reflects a period of significant recreational development, evidenced by names like Havasu Palms and various designated drains and washes such as Sea Lark Drain and Pima Wash. The boundary line between Mohave County and San Bernardino County runs through the center of the lake, marking the state border between Arizona and California.
