About this map

The city of Henderson occupies the center of this 2021 landscape, showing the dense suburban development typical of the modern Las Vegas Valley. This era is characterized by the integration of large-scale residential communities with prominent educational institutions, such as the College of Southern Nevada Henderson Campus and the Nevada State College Downtown Campus. Older neighborhoods like Carver Park stand alongside modern developments, reflecting the rapid growth of the region.

The eastern portion of the map is defined by the transition from urban sprawl to the dramatic terrain of the Mojave Desert and the River Mountains. Outdoor recreation and conservation are major themes, visible through the presence of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the extensive River Mountains Loop Trail. In the north, the artificial waters of Lake Las Vegas illustrate the significant transformation of the Las Vegas Wash corridor into a resort-oriented residential hub.
