About this map

The Virgin River carves through this corner of Clark County, defining a landscape where agriculture and desert wilderness meet. Along the riverbanks, fertile areas such as Arnold Bottom, Cook Bottom, and Latham Bottom indicate the historical importance of the floodplain for local sustenance. To the north, the growing community of Mesquite sits near the river's path, while the smaller settlement of Riverside remains a focal point for travel along W Riverside Rd.

Transitioning away from the river, the terrain rises into the Mojave Desert and the prominent Bunkerville Ridge. This arid backcountry is punctuated by essential water sources for cattle or travelers, including Juanita Springs, Government Spring, and North Key West Spring. Local transit is facilitated by routes like Gold Butte Rd, which provides access into the more remote, high-relief sections of the desert south of the river valley.
