1983 Map of Overton NE

About this map

Virgin Valley forms a prominent corridor through this section of Clark County, where the desert landscape is defined by the contrast between high plateaus and the river bottom. The Mormon Mesa dominates the western portion of the map, presenting a broad, elevated surface that drops sharply toward the lowlands. Central to this area is the Overton Virgin Wildlife Management Area, which tracks the course of the Virgin River as it moves south. This 1983 provisional survey captures the geography of the region before significant modern expansion, detailing natural drainage patterns like Halfway Wash and the established township and range lines. The map reveals a transition from arid mesa tops to the riparian environment of the valley, providing a clear view of the land management and topographical boundaries in place during the early 1980s.
