2014 Map of Overton

About this map

The Muddy River defines the corridor of the Moapa Valley, where a sequence of agricultural and residential settlements including Overton, Logandale, Glassand, and Amber contrast with the surrounding Mojave Desert. This modern survey illustrates a landscape shaped by water management and aviation, featuring Bowman Reservoir and Honeybee Reservoir alongside the runways of Perkins Field. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, where the river meets the vast waters of Lake Mead at Virgin Basin. Elevated landforms such as Mormon Mesa and Overton Ridge frame the valley, while a dense network of residential streets, from Bonelli Ave to W Liston Ave, marks the local community's growth. Geologists and local historians can trace the intricate drainage patterns of Magnesite Wash and Logan Wash as they descend toward the central valley floor.
