1972 Map of Blue Diamond NE

About this map

Las Vegas expands westward into the desert in this survey reflecting the early 1970s landscape, with later revisions showing the urban footprint pushing toward the base of Lone Mountain. The map captures the transition from open desert terrain, marked by Red Rock Wash and Box Canyon, to a structured grid of developing streets such as Sahara Ave and Charleston Blvd. The Las Vegas Corp Bdy delineates the edge of municipal reach at the time, while land use at the periphery includes industrial activity at various Gravel Pits and the established Memory Gardens (Cem) near Craig Road. This document illustrates the conversion of alluvial fans into residential and commercial corridors, a process further evidenced by the purple-tinted urban extensions along the eastern margin.
