The Virgin River carves a distinct path through the arid landscape of southern Nevada, flowing south into the expansive waters of Lake Mead. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the river's traditional course in the Virgin Valley to its confluence within the northern reaches of the Lake Mead National Rec Area. The terrain is characterized by stark landforms like Black Ridge and the elevated plateau of Badger Bench, which overlook the sediment-rich flats of Long Bottom.
