1967 Map of Las Vegas NE

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Nellis Air Force Base dominates the northern landscape of this region, serving as a massive anchor for the burgeoning suburban expansion of North Las Vegas and Las Vegas during the mid-1960s. The map captures a critical period of desert urbanization, where residential grids are rapidly encroaching on the Las Vegas Wash and Flamingo Wash. Educational infrastructure is densely represented by dozens of neighborhood schools like Cahlan Sch, Von Tobel Jr High Sch, and Variety Sch, reflecting the postwar population boom in the Mojave. Beyond the residential clusters of Sunrise Acres and Winterwood, the eastern terrain shifts abruptly to industrial and extraction zones, marked by extensive Gravel Pits and the isolated Lake Mead Base. The Union Pacific rail line and major thoroughfares such as Las Vegas Blvd N provide the primary transit arteries connecting the city center to the surrounding military installations and outlying settlements like Wann.
