About this map

Apex and the nearby siding of Arrolime occupy a pivotal high point in the desert landscape northeast of Las Vegas. At the center of the sheet, Apex Summit marks the natural crest where the terrain begins to slope away toward the drainage of Gypsum Wash. This early 21st-century survey documents the transition of this arid corridor from a simple transit route into a more developed logistical hub.

The infrastructure on the map reflects this evolution, centered around the Apex Underpass and the alignment of Las Vegas Blvd N. While much of the quadrangle remains open desert defined by topographical contours and Power Line Rd, the southern edge shows a growing grid of streets including Bergstrom Ave, Grand Forks Ave, and numbered thoroughfares like 6th St, indicating the encroaching industrial or residential footprint of the North Las Vegas area.
