About this map

The residential street grid of Meadview occupies the southern reach of this survey, positioned at the edge of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This high-desert community serves as a gateway to the complex shoreline of Lake Mead, where numerous inlets like Wagon Trail Bay, Smith Bay, and Hualapai Bay meet the arid terrain of the Mojave Desert. The landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the open waters of the Gregg Basin up to the broad expanse of Grapevine Mesa.

Transport and water access are central to the area's layout, highlighted by the Pearce Ferry Airport and a network of desert washes such as Pearce Wash and Grapevine Wash. The topography transitions from the depths of Virgin Canyon to the eastern ridges of Grapevine Canyon, where Grapevine Spring provides a rare localized water source. The map captures the intersection of recreation and settlement in Mohave County, where the Arizona and Nevada state line runs through the northern waters near Sandy Point.
