Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates this desert landscape where the state boundary between Nevada and Arizona follows the former river course through Temple Basin. The complex shoreline of Lake Mead is defined by striking geological formations such as The Temple, The Campanile, and Napoleons Tomb. These landmarks rise from the surrounding Mojave Desert terrain, providing vertical relief against the deep coves of the reservoir.
