2015 Map of Henderson

About this map

Henderson anchors this 2015 study of Clark County's suburban development and desert terrain. The map captures the dense street grids of neighborhood enclaves like Victory Village and Carver Park as they meet the expansive Mojave Desert. This era shows a community in transition, where residential expansion is checked by the dramatic natural boundaries of the McCullough Range and the River Mountains. A primary hydrological feature is the Las Vegas Wash, which feeds into Lake Las Vegas, a major residential and recreational center in the northeast. The map also delineates the western edge of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, showing how civil engineering projects like the River Mountains Tunnel and major thoroughfares such as E Lake Mead Pky and the S Boulder Hwy facilitate movement through this arid landscape.
