About this map

Lake Mohave dominates this desert landscape along the border of Nevada and Arizona, representing a significant modern hydraulic feature of the Colorado River system. The map details the intricate shoreline of the reservoir, highlighting numerous named inlets such as Gold Spike Cove, Klondike Cove, and Painted Canyon Cove. These names often reflect the region's historical ties to mining and prospecting.

Inland from the water, the terrain rises toward significant landmarks like Opal Mountain and the namesake peak of Mount Davis. Much of the western territory is managed as part of the Lake Mead National Rec Area, showing the limited road development and the preservation of the Cottonwood Valley floor. The map captures the meeting of high desert topography and managed water resources in the early 21st century.
