1987 Map of Overton

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad and Interstate 15 define the transit corridors of northeastern Clark County in the late 1980s, tracing a path through the Moapa River Indian Reservation and the desert floor. This terrain is characterized by the convergence of several major washes, such as Kane Springs Wash and Meadow Valley Wash, which feed into the Muddy River. In the southern reaches, the map details the agricultural and ranching communities of Logandale and Overton situated just north of Lake Mead. The dramatic topography includes the Mormon Mesa and the Valley of Fire State Park, showing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. Further east, the Virgin River valley supports the border settlements of Bunkerville and Mesquite at the Arizona state line.
