About this map

The growing urban interface of Henderson and Boulder City meets the arid topography of Clark County in this 2018 survey. The northern portion of the map shows the suburban expansion of Henderson, with residential street names like Patti Ann Woods Dr and Wild West Dr reaching toward the McCullough Range. The Nevada State College Main Campus serves as a prominent landmark at the base of the mountains, illustrating the region's modern institutional development.

Southward, the landscape transitions into the open desert floor of the Eldorado Valley, where the ephemeral Quail Wash drains toward the Dry Lake and Mursha Reservoir. This area is dominated by significant elevation features, including Mt Scorpion, Black Hill, and the strategically located Railroad Pass. This pass serves as a historical and modern corridor between the mountain ranges, while the River Mountains Loop provides a modern recreational trail system through the northern peaks.
