1953 Map of Virgin Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Colorado River and Virgin River converge within the Lake Mead National Recreational Area in this mid-century survey. The topography is defined by the massive reach of Lake Mead, specifically where the Overton Arm meets the wider Virgin Basin. This area reflects the era of recreational development and water management along the Nevada-Arizona border. A distinct focus on water-based access is evident near the Temple Bar Marina, which features a Temple Bar Boat Anchorage, Boat Ramp, and Campground.
