1989 Map of Sloan

About this map

Industrial extraction and desert transportation converge at Sloan, where the landscape is defined by extensive limestone and mineral operations including multiple Quarry sites and associated Tailings. The infrastructure of the late 1980s is visible in the Union Pacific rail line and various utility corridors, including a Trans Line and Pipeline. To the north, the Henderson Corporate Boundary marks the edge of suburban expansion near the Las Vegas-Henderson Sky Harbor Airport. The rugged eastern terrain is dominated by the peaks of the Mc Cullough Range, which gives way to the relatively flat expanse of Hidden Valley. Notable for local history, the map identifies the former location of Bard (Site) along the railway, serving as a record of early desert outposts that have since faded into the landscape.
