1972 Map of Blue Diamond SE

About this map

The Union Pacific Railroad corridor south of Las Vegas dominates this desert landscape, tracing a path alongside the settlement at Bard. During the early 1970s and subsequent revisions, this region was characterized by industrial extraction and the early westward expansion of the suburban grid. Numerous Mines, Mine sites, and Prospects are scattered across the higher elevations, while the flatter terrain to the east shows the emergence of named thoroughfares like Flamingo Rd and Tropicana Ave. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and several Dry Wells highlights the historical challenge of water management and transport in this arid environment. Significant infrastructure is evident in the Pipeline corridors and the Union Pacific Road, reflecting a landscape transitioning from isolated mining claims to an organized logistical and residential network defined by the drainage of Tropicana Wash.
