2018 Map of Valley of Fire East

About this map

Lake Mead and its desert shoreline define this landscape, where the waters of the Overton Arm meet the Virgin Basin. This desert terrain is characterized by complex geological formations and intermittent watercourses like Saint Thomas Wash and Valley of Fire Wash. Notable landmarks such as Elephant Rock and Silica Dome stand out against the Baseline Mesa, marking a region known for its unique natural sculptures. Rare water sources are found at Rogers Spring, Blue Point Spring, and Getchel Spring, providing vital points of interest in an otherwise arid environment. The presence of Stewarts Point and Saint Thomas Point along the lake's edge highlights the relationship between the rising reservoir levels and the surrounding Mojave Desert terrain. The map also traces the Valley of Fire Hwy, which serves as the primary artery through the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
