About this map

Valley of Fire State Park dominates this 1980s landscape, where drainage patterns like the Overton Fork and Magnesite Wash carve through the arid terrain between the North Muddy Mountains and the southern Muddy Mountains. The survey details a network of geological landmarks and visitor sites, including Atlatl Rock, Beehive Rock, and the secluded Fire Alcove.

Evidence of early exploration and human activity is noted through scattered Prospects and designated recreation spots such as the Mouses Tank Picnic Area, Sunrise Picnic Area, and Seven Sisters Picnic Area. The map illustrates the complex drainage system feeding into the Valley of Fire Wash, revealing how the topography dictated the placement of roads and trails through this distinctive section of Clark County.
