About this map

The Newberry Mountains rise sharply in the eastern portion of this landscape, marking a stark transition from the broad expanse of the Mojave Desert to the west. This arid Clark County terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, where the significant Piute Wash and Nellis Wash slice through the desert floor. Water, though scarce, is anchored by several named sources such as Battle Axe Spring, Old Roman Spring, and Yellowstone Spring, which serve as vital landmarks in the high-heat environment. Human infrastructure is minimal, centered primarily on Loran Station Rd, which provides access across the central sections. The northeastern corner contains a portion of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, protecting the intersection of these mountain ranges and washes.
