About this map

Las Vegas City and Las Vegas Town form a dual settlement center along the Gallinas River in the early 1960s. The landscape is a hub of education and civic infrastructure, anchored by Highlands University, the State Hospital, and multiple schools such as Robertson High Sch and West Las Vegas High Sch. The town's historical foundations are evident in the path of the Santa Fe Trail and the heavy rail presence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad.

To the south, the village of Romeroville and the Romero Cem speak to deep-rooted local family histories. The surrounding terrain is marked by significant hydrological features including Mc Allister Lake, Bentley Lake, and the winding Pecos Arroyo. This survey provides a clear view of the area's transition from historical trail crossroads to a developed regional center before the expansion of modern highways.
