About this map

Lake Mohave dominates the western edge of this desert landscape, where the reservoir waters meet the jagged rise of the Black Mountains. The shoreline is defined by a series of distinct inlets, including Black Sheep Cove, Three Mile Cove, and Glory Cove, which provide access points between the arid highlands and the water. Navigation in these reaches is marked by the Southern Basin Light near the Southern Basin Cove, indicating the importance of the waterway for regional recreation and management.

Inland, the terrain is characterized by broad alluvial features like the East Cottonwood Basin and drainage systems such as Lost Cabin Wash and Portland Wash. Access into this remote territory is primarily facilitated by Cottonwood Rd in the north, while the Glory Hole Area suggests localized topographical interests. This survey captures the intersection of desert wilderness and the managed hydrology of the Colorado River system.
