The western edge of the Las Vegas Valley is defined by a rapidly developing suburban landscape where the grid of Las Vegas meets the rising terrain of the Mojave Desert. This 2021 survey shows the densification of neighborhoods around local landmarks like Lone Mtn and the ephemeral drainage of Red Rock Wash. The map records a significant concentration of educational and medical institutions, including the UNLV School of Medicine and the College of Southern Nevada Summerlin Center, reflecting the modern expansion of the city's infrastructure. To the north, the transition from residential blocks to the desert is marked by Bunkers Memory Gardens Cem and Box Canyon, illustrating the modern interface between the built environment and the geography of the Great Basin.
