Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates the western portion of this 2021 landscape, where the waters of Lake Mead fill the Virgin Basin and reach into the Kline Hole Overton Arm. The desert terrain is defined by extreme relief, transitioning from the submerged depths of Glory Hole and Lime Cove to the heights of the South Virgin Mountains. The topography reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Mojave Desert, with Quail Springs Wash and Lime Wash carving through Lime Canyon toward the lake.
