1963 Map of Las Vegas SE

About this map

The LAS VEGAS landscape south of the city center reveals a ranching economy defined by scattered homesteads and topographical challenges in the early 1960s. Family-named outposts like the Lewis Ranch, Spurlock Ranch, and Belden Ranch are situated among a complex network of small lakes and depressions on the plains. To the south, the terrain drops dramatically into the Cañon del Agua, where the Cañon del Agua Springs provided a vital water source for livestock and residents in this arid San Miguel County environment.
