2015 Map of Mesquite Lake

About this map

Mesquite Lake dominates the northern basin of this arid landscape, sitting within the broad Mesquite Valley at the border of California and Nevada. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the dry lake bed into the Mesquite Mountains to the southwest and the Spring Mountains in the northeast. The boundary between Clark County and San Bernardino County bisects the quadrangle diagonally, marking the transition from the Mojave Desert into the higher reaches of the surrounding ranges. This 2015 survey captures the remote character of the region, where landmarks like Lead Mtn stand as high points above the desert floor and Texas Ln provides one of the few named access points into this corner of the Mojave.
