About this map

Mohave Crossing serves as a central point on this 2014 survey along the state line of the Nevada Arizona border. The landscape is defined by the broad expanse of Lake Mohave, which submerges much of the river valley and isolates Cottonwood Island near the northern map edge. The terrain east of the water is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including Empire Wash, Lost Cabin Wash, and the notably named Gasoline Alley.

Tracing the historical movement through this arid environment, the Old Wagon Trl remains a visible corridor through the eastern hills near Silver Cut Meadows. To the south, the Newberry Mountains rise sharply, creating dramatic breaks in the topography at Pyramid Canyon and Pipe Spring Canyon. This area, managed as part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, shows a land defined by desert hydrology and the legacy of early travel routes across the Mojave Desert.
