About this map

The arid landscape of Mojave Desert defines this section of Mohave County, where the desert floor rises toward the elevations of the White Hills and Golden Rule Peak. Much of the territory is managed as part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, a vast tract of protected land where drainage patterns are etched into the earth by seasonal runoff. Prominent ephemeral waterways like Trail Rapids Wash and Temple Wash cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural hydrological system that feeds toward the Colorado River basin. One of the few named water sources in this dry expanse is Salt Spring, located near Salt Spring Wash in the northeastern quadrant. Access is provided primarily by Temple Bar Rd, which skirts the northwestern edge of the area, serving as a primary link through the desert for those navigating these remote basins and ranges.
