About this map

Texas Acres and the expanding residential corridors of southeastern Henderson characterize this 2012 landscape. The northern portion of the sheet shows a dense network of suburban streets such as Paradise Hills Dr and Nevada State Dr, indicating the rapid growth of Clark County in the early 21st century. This modern development meets the stark natural topography of the Mojave desert, where the transition from paved neighborhoods to the open terrain is immediate.

Natural landmarks like Black Hill and the strategic Railroad Pass serve as historical transit points between the Las Vegas Valley and the Colorado River basin. The map details the drainage patterns of the arid environment through features like Quail Wash and Klinger Spring. Evidence of older transportation routes persists in the corridor of Old US Hwy 2, running parallel to the modern highway system through Dutchman Pass.
