1958 Map of Overton

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Logandale and Overton stand as the primary hubs of the Moapa Valley during this 1950s survey, positioned along the banks of the Muddy River and the tracks of the Union Pacific railroad. To the east, the landscape is defined by the massive Mormon Mesa and the wide, braided course of the Virgin River as it flows toward Lake Mead. The map captures a moment when the northern reaches of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area were being defined, including the Overton State Wildlife Management Area. Notable smaller settlements and locations like Amber, Glassand, and the Overton Museum provide specific points of interest for local history. The presence of the Overton Airport and the Radio Fan Beacon reflect mid-century infrastructure in this desert region, while the southern shoreline shows the encroaching waters of the reservoir near Kaolin.
