2021 Map of Spirit Mountain

About this map

Spirit Mtn and the surrounding Newberry Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in southern Clark County. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems such as Empire Wash, Nellis Wash, and Roman Wash, which cut through the arid terrain of the Mojave Desert. Within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, several critical water sources are identified, including Roman Spring, Pipe Spring, and Discovery Spring, highlighting the survival resources of this environment. Access into these peaks is traced via Christmas Tree Pass Rd and Pipe Spring Rd, which provide passage near landmarks like Devils Thumb and North Peak. The map captures the remote character of the region, emphasizing the geologic formations of Grapevine Canyon and the natural corridors leading toward Cottonwood Valley.
