About this map

Paradise Valley and the expanding suburbs of southeast Las Vegas define this mid-century desert landscape during a period of rapid urbanization. The residential grids of East Las Vegas and Pittman transition into the massive Clark County Industrial Plant Area and the rocky foothills of the McCullough Range. The map documents critical infrastructure of the era, from the sprawling runways of McCarran International Airport to the Union Pacific rail lines and the prominent Whitney Mesa.

Social and educational hubs are well-represented, including St Viator Sch, Ullom Sch, and the Southern Nevada Vocational Technical Center. Land use is strikingly divided between leisure spaces like the Paradise Valley Country Club and industrial operations evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and Tailings Ponds near Henderson. Local water sources such as Grapevine Springs and Duck Creek are noted amidst the developing street network of Flamingo Road and Tropicana Avenue.
