1983 Map of Overton NW

About this map

Mormon Mesa dominates the northern reaches of this desert terrain, where the arid landscape is marked by Dry Lakes and the stark elevation changes above the Moapa Valley. The infrastructure of the early 1980s is defined by linear cuts through the basin, including a major Powerline and a Class 1 Rd that provides access to the Carp Elgin Interchange. Water management in this dry environment is evident through features like the P.E.R. Bowman Reservoir and scattered Stock Tanks, essential for ranching or land use in the high heat. Small-scale industrial activity is also visible near the transport corridors, indicated by several Borrow Pits utilized for road construction and local maintenance.
