About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the high desert terrain meets the federal preserve. The region is defined by Grapevine Mesa, a massive landform bisected by the prominent Pearce Ferry Road and drained by the deep system of Grapevine Wash. Settlement is concentrated at Meadview, while the surrounding slopes are heavily marked by the legacy of desert prospecting and extraction.

Mining history is particularly dense throughout the quadrangle, with numerous adits and mine shafts dotting the foothills. Notable operations such as the King Tut Mine, Lone Jack Mine, and Climax Mine are explicitly named, alongside a network of 4 WD tracks and scattered wells that highlight the logistical challenges of resource development in this arid environment. Ranching and infrastructure footprints are visible through scattered corrals, water tanks, and the Grapevine Windmill.
