1967 Map of Las Vegas SW

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

M C Carran Field and the surrounding desert floor showcase the early stages of rapid urban expansion south of the city during the mid-1960s. The landscape is a transition between established educational and recreational hubs, such as Nevada Southern University and the Tropicana Country Club, and the industrial operations defining the outskirts. Extensive Gravel Pits and Gravel Prospects dot the terrain, while the Union Pacific Railroad serves as a backbone for settlements like Arden and Bracken. Notable sports venues including the Stardust International Raceway and Las Vegas Downs Racetrack appear alongside the natural drainage of Flamingo Wash and Tropicana Wash. The grid of arterial roads like Tropicana Ave and Las Vegas Blvd South indicates the burgeoning infrastructure that would soon transform this desert valley.
