Avi Kwa Ame National Monument consists of approximately 500,000 acres of federal lands within Clark County. The monument will be co-managed by the Bureau of Land Management, as part of the National Conservation Lands System, and the National Park Service, as part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

The national monument’s desert mountains and valleys are marked by the history of more than 10,000 years of human inhabitants – from ancient petroglyphs, rockshelters, and artifacts, to more recent evidence of trade routes, historic mining, and military training during World War II. Mojave desert tortoise, Gila monster, desert bighorn sheep, and centuries-old Joshua trees are among the species that can be found on this diverse desert landscape.
