About this map

Henderson serves as the focal point for this 2015 study, illustrating the rapid suburban expansion into the high desert landscape of the Las Vegas Valley. The map shows a meticulously planned network of residential developments, particularly south of W Horizon Ridge Pky, where neighborhoods like those along Anthem Pky and Sunridge Heights Pky push directly against the natural boundaries of the McCullough Hills.

Beyond the residential street grids, the terrain rises sharply toward the south and east into the McCullough Range, dominated by the prominent summit of Black Mtn. This area represents a stark transition between the modern urban environment and the expansive Mojave Desert. The map documents the specific character of this desert city, where arterial roads such as S Eastern Ave and Coronado Center Dr provide the infrastructure for high-elevation residential growth amidst the arid topography.
