About this map

North Las Vegas and the northwest expansion of Las Vegas are documented here during a period of rapid mid-century growth. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from the desert floor to a densely gridded urban environment, anchored by the North Las Vegas Air Terminal and the Union Pacific rail line. Educational and civic infrastructure is prominent, featuring numerous parochial and public institutions such as Our Lady of Las Vegas Sch, Bishop Gorman Sch, and the County Courthouse.

Public recreation and community spaces like the Municipal Golf Course, Lorenzi Park, and the Convention Center highlight the city's evolving identity as a destination. The outskirts to the west and north still show signs of early industry and land use, with several Gravel Pits and Gravel Prospects scattered beyond the developing residential blocks and major thoroughfares like Charleston Blvd and Sahara Ave.
