About this map

Valley of Fire State Park anchors this desert landscape where the geology of Baseline Mesa and Silica Dome meets the waters of the Lake Mead Overton Arm. Historically significant markers appear near the road network, including the Grave Cpt John J Clark Memorial Monument and the Arrowhead Trail Historic Marker, indicating the early travel routes that once crossed this arid terrain.

Industrial activity is evident through numerous extraction sites such as the Simplot Silica Sand Mine and the Florence Mine No 1. The map documents the edge of the Overton Wildlife Management Area where the Muddy River enters the reservoir. Unique geological landmarks like Elephant Rock and water sources such as Blue Point Spring provide essential context for the area's natural history and recreational development.
