NV Rev Stat § 234.140 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 234 - State and Local Governmental Boundaries|NRS 234.140 - Terms and provisions of Compact.

The terms and provisions of the Compact referred to in NRS 234.130 are as follows: ARTICLE I. Purpose.  The boundary between the States of Arizona and Nevada on the Colorado River between the point where the Nevada-California state line intersects the 35th degree of latitude north and Davis Dam has become indefinite and uncertain because of meanderings in the main channel of the Colorado River with the result that a state of confusion exists as to the true and correct location of the boundary and the enforcement and administration of the laws of the two states have been rendered difficult.  The purpose of this Compact is to fix the location of the boundary line between the States of Arizona and Nevada on the Colorado River between the point where the Nevada-California state line intersects the 35th degree of latitude north and Davis Dam. ARTICLE II. Description.  The boundary between the States of Arizona and Nevada on the Colorado River between the point where the Nevada-California state line intersects the 35th degree of latitude north and Davis Dam is herewith defined as a line passing through a series of fixed points located in the mid-channel of the Colorado River which are tied by bearing and distance to establish monuments and described as follows: Point No. 1, being the place of beginning where the Nevada-California boundary intersects the 35th degree of latitude north; thence northerly 18,099.91 feet along a curve to the right (with a radius bearing North 63°34¢35² East, a distance of 13,901.63 feet) to Point No. 2, which point is North 51°24¢59² West 2,769.37 feet from the U.S.C.&G.S.
