2018 Map of Overton NE

About this map

The Virgin River carves a distinctive path through the Virgin Valley in this corner of the Mojave Desert. The map documents a stark landscape defined by the contrast between the flat, elevated expanse of Mormon Mesa to the west and the intricate drainage network of Halfway Wash feeding into the river valley. Unlike earlier surveys focused solely on physical topography, this 2018 edition includes contemporary recreational infrastructure such as Bikepacking: The Plateau Passage, showing how historic travel corridors have evolved into modern adventure routes. Roadways like Carp Elgin Rd and New Gold Butte Rd provide the primary access through this arid terrain, tracing routes that skirt the edges of the township and range boundaries that have organized this desert since the nineteenth century.
