About this map

Lake Mohave dominates the central corridor of this 2011 survey, where the Colorado River carves through the dramatic geology of the Arizona-Nevada border. The settlement of Willow Beach serves as a primary access point along the river's eastern shore, connected to the interior by N Willow Beach Rd. The landscape is defined by steep vertical relief, featuring named landmarks such as the Chalk Cliffs, Squaw Peaks, and the imposing Malpais Flattop Mesa.

Navigational hazards and river features remain prominent throughout Black Canyon, including Shallow Rapids and Roaring Rapids. Numerous coves and washes, such as Quenos Cove, Copper Basin Cove, and Lonesome Wash, provide a detailed look at the complex shoreline topography. This modern topographic study records the intersection of recreational river use and the formidable desert terrain of the Colorado River valley.
