USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Las Vegas is depicted here in its early years, appearing as a modest settlement near the Las Vegas Ranch and McWilliams townsite. The desert landscape is defined by the logistics of water and transport, with the San Pedro Los Angeles & Salt Lake RR and the Las Vegas and Tonopah RR converging in the valley. This 1906–1907 survey captures the high-desert economy of the era, where isolated outposts like Smith's Ranch and Pahrump Ranch served as vital hubs in an arid expanse.
