About this map

Arrolime and Apex sit at the intersection of heavy industry and military preservation in this mid-1980s Clark County landscape. The Union Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain, serving the extraction economy evidenced by a Rock Quarry and scattered Mine Shafts. The area is characterized by high-desert activity, from the Race Track near Apex to the industrial Gypsum operations. To the west, the Desert National Wildlife Range and Nellis Air Force Base border one another, marking a clear divide between protected wilderness and military testing grounds. The landscape itself is fluid, with Shifting Sand and the Las Vegas Dunes dominating the southern portion of the sheet. Gypsum Wash drains toward the vast expanse of the Dry Lake in the northeast, illustrating the arid drainage patterns of the Mojave before the intensification of regional development.
