2023 Map of Playas Lake North

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Playas Lake dominates the central basin of this high-desert landscape in the Playas Valley, where ephemeral waters collect in the shadow of the Little Hatchet Mountains. The settlement of Playas is defined by a dense grid of residential streets like Ocotillo Ave and Plaza Ave, reflecting its history as a planned townsite. Industrial and transportation infrastructure is evident through the presence of Smelter Rd and the nearby Playas Air Strip, which stand in contrast to more isolated ranching landmarks like White Place and Windmill to the north. In the southeast, the terrain rises sharply toward Playas Peak, marking the transition from the valley floor to the desert uplands.
