Virgin Basin and Temple Basin form a dramatic flooded landscape where the Colorado River and Virgin River meet within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This 1970 revision of a mid-century survey documents the rising waters around the Gypsum Ledges and White Hills, capturing the early recreational footprint of the region. The map details remote access points such as Temple Bar Marina, which features a Landing Field and the Temple Bar Boat Anchorage, alongside traces of the area's pioneer and prospecting past.
