About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates this section of the Mojave Desert, where the high elevations of the Black Mountains descend toward the Colorado River corridor. The map highlights the complex shoreline of Lake Mohave, defined by a series of named inlets including Black Sheep Cove, Three Mile Cove, and Glory Cove. The terrain is characterized by the broad Cottonwood Valley and the East Cottonwood Basin, showing the transition from mountain slopes to the reservoir edge. The boundary between Clark County, Nevada and Mohave County, Arizona runs through the center of the water, marking the interstate division within this protected landscape. Modern access is primarily represented by Cottonwood Rd, which provides a route through the rugged interior toward the Southern Basin Cove.
