2018 Map of Roach

About this map

Roach Lake dominates the central basin of this Clark County landscape, a dry lake bed situated within the broader expanse of the Ivanpah Valley. This portion of the Mojave Desert is defined by sharp elevation shifts, rising from the flat valley floor toward the high peaks of Sheep Mtn in the north and the Lucy Gray Mountains to the southeast. The map details the proximity of the rail-adjacent settlements of Roach and Borax, which sit along a corridor that has long served as a vital transit artery through the arid desert. In the eastern highlands, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, marked by features such as Beer Bottle Pass, while E Primm Blvd enters the southern reaches, indicating modern infrastructure reaching into this traditional desert crossing.
