About this map

North Las Vegas and the sprawling residential tracts of Sunrise Manor dominate this detailed 2021 survey of the northeast Las Vegas Valley. The landscape is a study in the intersection of dense suburban expansion and the arid topography of the Mojave Desert, bounded to the east by the steep rises of the Frenchman Range. This modern documentation shows the highly organized grid of major thoroughfares like E Cheyenne Ave and E Charleston Blvd as they service the complex infrastructure of the region.

Strategic military and educational interests are represented by the presence of Nellis Air Force Base in the north and the Nevada Career Institute to the south. The natural drainage of the Las Vegas Wash provides a contrast to the geometric urban layout, illustrating the path of water through the valley. This map is an essential reference for understanding the recent growth patterns of the Las Vegas metropolitan area, including the small community of Wann.
