2014 Map of Las Vegas SW

About this map

Enterprise and the surrounding southwestern valley of Clark County appear in 2014 as a landscape defined by rapid suburban expansion and transportation corridors. The map records the urban density encroaching on the Mojave Desert, where residential developments such as Mountain's Edge and Spring Valley fill the grid between arterial roads like Blue Diamond Rd and W Tropicana Ave. Significant institutional footprints are visible, including the Univ of Nevada-Las Vegas and the expansive grounds of Mc Carran International Airport. Historic nodes like Arden and Bracken anchor the survey, while natural drainage features such as Tropicana Wash and Duck Creek are woven into the modern street layout. This survey captures a specific moment of transition as the Las Vegas metropolitan area integrates its older railroad roots, exemplified by the Union Pacific Railroad, with massive 21st-century residential growth.
