1953 Map of Overton Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The desert landscape of Clark County is defined here by the meeting of arid canyons and the rising waters of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. In the early 1950s, the geography shows a transitional moment where the Virgin River and Muddy River flow into the northern reaches of the reservoir, creating a complex shoreline of inlets like Calico Bay and Echo Bay. The map documents the industrial and natural features of the era, from the Florence Mine and Nevada Silica Sand Mine near Kaolin to the protected lands of Valley of Fire State Park.
