2014 Map of Mount Davis

About this map

Lake Mohave dominates this desert landscape, forming a narrow waterway that defines the boundary between Nevada and Arizona. This 2014 survey captures the rugged corridor within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, where the Colorado River's impounded waters wind through steep terrain. On the Nevada side, the heights of Opal Mtn overlook the shoreline, while the Arizona banks are marked by prominent landmarks like Elephant Hill, Owl Point, and the namesake peak of Mount Davis. The topographic detail reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Cottonwood Valley as they descend toward the reservoir. This area, managed by the National Park Service, preserves a stark wilderness environment where modern recreational boundaries overlap with historic township and range divisions like t27s r66e and t26n r22w.
