About this map

The western edge of the Las Vegas metropolitan area is documented here, showing the dense residential and institutional expansion into the Las Vegas Valley. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of Summerlin South and Spring Valley to the dramatic natural features of the Mojave Desert and Box Canyon. This 2023 survey illustrates the complex modern road network, including major thoroughfares like W Charleston Blvd and W Sahara Ave, which serve a growing cluster of educational facilities such as the College of Southern Nevada Summerlin Center and the UNLV-School of Medicine.

Beyond the suburban grid, the map records enduring landmarks like Lone Mtn and the ephemeral Whitehead Springs. These natural points of interest, along with the Red Rock Wash, provide a clear view of the pre-urban desert environment as it meets the contemporary city. The inclusion of Bunkers Memory Gardens Cem in the northeast corner serves as a significant landmark for those researching local family history.
