Lake Mead National Recreation Area occupies the northern reaches of this territory, where the complex drainage systems of the eastern Grand Canyon region begin their descent toward the Colorado River. The landscape is defined by the massive incisions of Peach Springs Canyon and Diamond Canyon, which converge in a dramatic display of erosion and geological layering. This 2021 survey documents a land of extreme vertical relief, where water is a precious and localized resource found at points like Diamond Spring and the artificial catchment at Metuck Tank.
