About this map

Sunrise Manor and Whitney anchor this suburban and industrial corridor in the southeastern Las Vegas Valley. The landscape transitions from the dense residential grids of Paradise and East Las Vegas toward the rising slopes of the McCullough Range and the Frenchman Range. Educational and transportation hubs are prominent, including the Univ of Southern Nevada, Las Vegas Coll, and the Voc Tech Airport.

Hydrological features like Las Vegas Wash and several historical springs, such as Mesquite Spring and Grapevine Springs, underscore the water management essential to the Mojave Desert environment. These desert oases contrast with the modern infrastructure of Henderson, providing a clear view of how urban development has navigated the arid terrain and the distinctive geological formation of Whitney Mesa.
