2018 Map of Overton SE

About this map

The Virgin River carves a fertile path through the arid landscapes of Clark County, leading into the northern reaches of Lake Mead. This 2018 survey illustrates the confluence of varied desert landforms, where the high flat of Mormon Mesa drops toward the Virgin Valley and the expansive Mojave Desert. The map documents the boundary of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, protecting the transition from riverine wetlands to the sharp elevations of the Virgin Mountains and Black Ridge. To the west, the isolated Carp Elgin Rd serves as one of the few transit markers in a landscape otherwise defined by topographical features like Badger Bench and Huntsman Hill. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the reservoir's waters at Long Bottom, showing the 21st-century extent of this critical southwestern waterway.
