About this map

Lake Mohave dominates the central corridor of this desert landscape, following the border between Arizona and Nevada. The reservoir is lined with numerous named coves that trace the submerged topography of the Cottonwood Valley, including Eighty-Three Dollar Cove and Portland Gold Cove. These names suggest a history of prospecting and river travel that preceded the damming of the Colorado River. To the east, the terrain rises into the Mojave Desert plateaus, dissected by drainage systems like Granite Wash and Tyro Wash. The western shore is framed by the Newberry Mountains, where Cottonwood Island remains a prominent feature within the waterway. Near the southern edge of the sheet, local access points like Princess Cove Rd and the cheekily named Gasoline Alley provide modern context to this vast recreation area.
