2018 Map of Las Vegas NE

About this map

Las Vegas and North Las Vegas appear at a period of significant urban density on the floor of the Las Vegas Valley. This map illustrates the intersection of sprawling residential development with major military and industrial infrastructure. The northeastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the extensive grounds of Nellis Air Force Base, while the Union Pacific RR cuts through the western industrial corridors. The transition from the built environment to the natural landscape is sharp, defined by the rising contours of the Frenchman Range to the east and the open Mojave Desert terrain. Local institutional growth is marked by sites like the Nevada Career Institute, and the hydrologic character of the basin is traced via the Las Vegas Wash, which winds through the residential blocks of Sunrise Manor.
