About this map

The North Las Vegas Air Terminal and the Municipal Golf Course anchor a landscape in rapid transition during the late 1960s and early 1970s. This survey records the suburban expansion of Las Vegas and North Las Vegas into the desert, with revisions showing new residential blocks pushing northwest beyond Smoke Ranch Rd. The density of the city core is visible around City Hall and the County Courthouse, while educational infrastructure is remarkably detailed, featuring dozens of sites from the venerable Las Vegas High Sch to neighborhood anchors like St Francis Sch and Gibson Jr High Sch.

Industry and recreation sit side-by-side, with numerous Gravel Pits and prospects lining the western edge of the developing grid. To the south, the massive Convention Center and the Golf Course near Desert Inn Rd highlight the burgeoning tourism and leisure economy. Historical local landmarks like Woodlawn Cem and Lorenzi Park provide vital reference points for genealogists and urban historians tracking the city's mid-century footprint.
