1983 Map of Lime Wash

About this map

The Virgin River meets the northern reaches of the Overton Arm in this survey of the desert landscape north of Lake Mead. This region within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area is defined by its dramatic shoreline and drainage systems, where the arid topography is carved by Lime Wash and Quail Wash. The map documents a transition point between the river's path and the rising reservoir waters, noting specific aquatic features such as Kline Hole and the curiously named Glory Hole near the river's entrance to the lake.
