2012 Map of Overton NE

About this map

The Virgin River carves a dominant path through this corner of Clark County, defining the drainage patterns and topography of the eastern Mojave landscape. The river corridor is the primary geographical anchor in an area otherwise characterized by ephemeral waterways and desert trackways. To the north and west, the long course of Halfway Wash feeds toward the river, illustrating the complex system of dry washes that transform during seasonal rains. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the remote path of Carp Elgin Rd as it skirts the western edge of the quadrangle. The map reveals the natural desert hydrology before it reaches the larger reservoirs of the region, providing a clear view of the river's original braided channel and the surrounding alluvial plains.
