This is a fairly primitive camping area on
Lake Mead; all sources besides GNIS agree on this. And that's it:
the park service says that the road used to run down to a ferry across the Colorado, and there's no other info and certainly no claim to a settlement.

Redirect to
Bonelli's Ferry. According to
this Bonelli's Landing was synonymous with
Rioville, Nevada. The Bonelli Landing given by the coords in the article could either be a reference to this settlement now flooded following the Hoover dam construction, or to the Arizona side of the ferry. ----

Good catch. I agree, this should be merged. I'll let this sit a day or so to see if there are objections, but if not I'll withdraw this and do the merge.

Also, what the maps and aerials show is that the name was applied to where the shore was before the lake started to recede. Right now it is quite a bit inland. One can speculate but since the park service prefers to name its various facilities, it's likely they simply took the name of the ferry as a starting point.

Redirect - It's highly improbable that there was ever a historic "landing" on a mountain hundreds of feet above the river. Clearly a NPS landmark named after a nearby place that was inundated by the Hoover Dam. No sign that this was ever a notable "populated place". Dlthewave
