1959 Map of Mt. Davis

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Lake Mohave and the Colorado River dominate this desert landscape at the border of Nevada and Arizona. The map illustrates the area as it appeared in the late 1950s, shortly after the impoundment of the river within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. High desert terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Opal Mountain to the west and Mt Davis VABM 2034 to the east, overlooking the wide Cottonwood Valley. This survey captures the transition of the river into a controlled reservoir system, showing the approximate state and county boundaries between Clark County, Nevada, and Mohave County, Arizona, as they follow the original river channel. Beyond the water, the land is largely defined by topographic elevation and sparse 4wd tracks, reflecting the isolation of this reach of the Colorado before modern development.
