1967 Map of Las Vegas NW

About this map

Las Vegas and North Las Vegas appear during a decade of rapid transformation on this 1967 survey. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of residential development pushing westward from the Union Pacific rail corridor toward the foothills. This growth is evidenced by a remarkable density of neighborhood institutions, including Bishop Gorman Sch, Madison Sch, and Vegas Verde Sch. Public infrastructure is prominently displayed, from the North Las Vegas Air Terminal to the Convention Center and the County Courthouse. Despite the burgeoning urbanization, the natural hydrology is still traced by Las Vegas Creek, while the presence of numerous Gravel Pits on the western fringes indicates the active construction and industrial extraction fueling the city's expansion. Green spaces like Lorenzi Park and the Municipal Golf Course provide clear landmarks within the expanding street grid.
