2018 Map of Spirit Mountain NE

About this map

Lake Mohave dominates the western edge of this landscape, its shoreline defined by a series of quiet inlets such as Black Sheep Cove, Three Mile Cove, and Glory Cove. This section of the Mojave Desert falls within the protected boundaries of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, where the arid terrain rises sharply toward the Black Mountains in the east. The map captures the remote character of the border between Nevada and Arizona, where the river-formed lake fills the Cottonwood Valley. Evidence of land management and access is found along the northern edge with Cottonwood Rd, while the central portion of the sheet remains largely undeveloped, showcasing the raw topography of the East Cottonwood Basin.
