1985 Map of Mesquite Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Mesquite Lake and the arid floor of Mesquite Valley dominate this mid-1980s landscape at the high desert border of California and Nevada. This map records the difficult environmental reality of the region, where every labeled water source, including Government Well (Dry), Mesquite Well (Dry), and a third Well (Dry), is explicitly marked as dry. The terrain is defined by the enclosure of several prominent ranges, including the Spring Mountains to the east and the Clark Mtn Range and Mesquite Mountains to the south. Human activity is focused on mineral extraction and transit, evidenced by the Milford Mine near Lead Mountain, scattered Prospects, and the passage through Mesquite Pass. The Nevada California Boundary and the Clark Co San Bernardino Co line cut diagonally across the basin, highlighting the geopolitical divisions of this unpopulated desert corridor.
