About this map

Henderson occupies the northern reaches of this mid-2010s survey, where suburban residential expansion meets the high desert terrain of the McCullough Range and River Mountains. This area serves as a gateway to the southern Nevada desert, marked by the academic presence of Nevada State Coll and the transit hub at Railroad Pass. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both human infrastructure and natural geology, from the residential grids of the McCullough Hills to the broad, flat expanse of Eldorado Valley.

South of the city, the terrain transitions into the Mojave Desert, revealing significant hydrological features like Dry Lake and the drainage of Quail Wash. Small settlements such as Texas Acres and natural landmarks like Black Hill and Klinger Spring dot the landscape, providing specific points of interest for researchers tracking the development of Clark County's outskirts. The topography is defined by mountain passes, including Dutchman Pass, and the recreational proximity of Bootleg Canyon.
