1959 Map of Spirit Mtn NW

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates this mid-century desert landscape along the border of Nevada and Arizona. The map highlights the significant water resources of the region, featuring the expansive Colorado River-Lake Mohave and the northern reaches of Lake Mead. The terrain is characterized by the broad floor of the Cottonwood Valley and the prominent heights of Black Mtn. Human activity is concentrated around Cottonwood Cove, where a remote Landing Strip provides access to this river-bound recreation corridor. Tracing the state boundary between Nevada and Arizona, the map follows the river's path through Mohave and Clark counties. Drainage features like Nellis Wash emphasize the arid environment surrounding these massive water management projects during the late 1950s.
