2018 Map of Dry Lake NW

About this map

North Las Vegas territory occupies the southern reaches of this survey, where the developing urban grid meets the open terrain of the Mojave Desert. The landscape is dominated by the massive Arrow Canyon Range which runs through the center of the sheet, dividing the high desert floor. To the east, the Dry Lake Valley contains the ephemeral Dry Lake, a significant drainage feature of the basin-and-range topography. Modern infrastructure is evident through the extensive utility and transport corridors including Power Line Rd and the Apex Power Pkwy. The map documents a specific moment of suburban and industrial expansion into the desert, characterized by planned thoroughfares such as Grand Valley Pkwy and specifically named streets like Apex Sapphire Ave and Apex Emerald St that extend toward the base of the mountains.
