Beaver Lake lay on a north–south axis, almost entirely within the boundaries of the Camp Mohave Military Reservation.

It appears as a depression running north and south, west of the river at an elevation of 490 feet (150 m) or less.

[2] The lake has since dried up, after being cut off from the spring flooding of the river, following the construction of the Hoover Dam.

Above the Aha Macav Parkway that crosses the former lake at its middle, it appears that it was formerly farmland now returned to desert vegetation, except beyond Silver State Road, where the battle was fought, it appears undisturbed desert since the lake dried up.

The southern extreme below the fields appears to be desert vegetation undisturbed since the lake dried up.
