The western edge of Las Vegas meets the rising terrain of the Mojave Desert in this detailed survey, documenting the intensive suburban expansion at the foot of Lone Mtn. The landscape is dominated by the dense street networks of Summerlin South and Spring Valley, showing the transition from desert floor to master-planned communities. Significant infrastructure, such as the Bruce Woodbury Belt and Blue Diamond Rd (159), facilitates movement through this rapidly developed corridor. Beyond the residential tracts, specialized institutions like the Univ of Phoenix-Las Vegas Campus and the Le Cordon Bleu Coll of Culinary Arts-Las Vegas appear alongside local landmarks such as Memory Gardens. Further west, the map transitions into the natural topography of Box Canyon and the secluded Whitehead Springs, where the grid gives way to the open desert.
