North Las Vegas and the expanding desert metropolis are recorded during a period of rapid suburban and industrial growth. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of residential blocks pushing toward the rugged slopes of Frenchman Mtn, while the massive footprint of Nellis Air Force Base dominates the northern sector. This survey captures the mid-century infrastructure of the Valley, from the early Union Pacific rail lines to the network of washes like Las Vegas Wash and Flamingo Wash that manage the region's rare but critical drainage.
