The residential area of Boulder City, Nevada. The water tower is visible in the background.

An image showing an aerial view of Boulder City. The outlines of the small city are distinctively marked by the stark contrast between the city's greenery and the surrounding desert. In the far distance, the shores of Lake Mead can be seen peaking out from behind the mountains. Note: Bits of the airplane from which the image itself was taken can be seen in the upper right corner of the photograph.
