About this map

Henderson serves as the focal point for this 2018 survey, illustrating the significant residential expansion into the northern reaches of the McCullough Range. The map documents a dense suburban network of winding streets and thoroughfares such as Anthem Pkwy and W Horizon Ridge Pkwy as they climb into the elevation of the McCullough Hills. This development patterns contrast sharply with the open, undeveloped stretches of the Mojave Desert to the south.

Prominent geographical landmarks including Black Mtn anchor the central portion of the quadrangle, where the transition from the built environment of the Las Vegas Valley to the protected topography of the range is clearly defined. The inclusion of numerous neighborhood-level street names provides a detailed record of the city's modern footprint, useful for understanding the interface between high-desert terrain and the sprawling residential infrastructure at the edge of the valley floor.
