1958 Map of Overton

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Overton and Logandale anchor this Mojave Desert landscape during a period of transition in water management and transportation. The Union Pacific railroad line cuts through the valley, serving small settlements like Glassand and the northern reaches of Mead Lake. The map reveals the intricate network of desert washes such as Mormon Wash and Logan Wash draining the expansive Mormon Mesa toward the Muddy River. At the base of the Virgin Mountains, the Virgin River flows through the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, reflecting the region's importance for both conservation and resource control. Local history is preserved through labels like the Overton Museum and Bowman Reservoir, while the presence of Amber and Kaolin indicates the area's geological and early settlement roots in the Clark County desert.
