About this map

Mesquite Lake dominates the central basin of this high-desert landscape, situated within the vast expanse of the Mojave Desert. The map reveals a complex geographic intersection where the Nevada-California border cuts diagonally through the terrain, also marking the division between Clark County and San Bernardino County. Surrounding the arid valley floor are prominent landforms including the Mesquite Mountains to the west and the towering Clark Mountain Range to the south.

Transport and access are limited to rugged routes like Mesquite Pass Rd, reflecting the remote character of this borderland. To the east, the topography rises sharply into the Spring Mountains, while individual landmarks such as Lead Mtn stand as notable points of interest for those studying the mining or geological history of the region. This 2021 survey provides a clear look at the public land survey system grid, including townships such as t19n r13e, across an area defined by its significant relief and desert basin hydrology.
