1974 Map of Gass Peak SW

About this map

The northern edge of Las Vegas meets the southern boundary of the Desert National Wildlife Range in this mid-1970s survey. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of the city to the alluvial fans and mountains of the wildlife range, marked by the prominent June Bug Mine in the northern hills. Along the Las Vegas Corporate Boundary, new infrastructure like Centennial Parkway, Ann Road, and Elkhorn Road defines the path of suburban expansion into the desert. The presence of the Home of the Good Shepherd church and a network of Jeep Trails heading into the wilderness reflects a community on the move. This map captures the specific moment when local landmarks like Rainbow Blvd and Jones Blvd began to carve out the modern city grid from the open basin floor.
