2012 Map of Lime Wash

About this map

Lake Mead defines the western edge of this desert landscape, where the reservoir shoreline is broken by numerous inlets such as Cottonwood Cove, Preachers Cove, and Quail Bay. The topography is dominated by an intricate drainage system, with Lime Wash and Quail Springs Wash carving deep paths through the arid terrain toward the lake. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote character of Clark County, where water sources like Quail Spring, Mockingbird Spring, and Maynard Spring remain critical landmarks. The presence of Scanlon Ferry Rd in the southeast corner provides a trace of historical transit through the region. Significant geological features, including Lime Canyon and Submarine Point, stand as prominent markers above the water line. The map also identifies several distinct shore features with idiosyncratic names such as Glory Hole, Kline Hole, and Weasel Hole, reflecting the localized nomenclature of the Lake Mead shoreline.
