About this map

The McCullough Range dominates this landscape south of the Las Vegas Valley, anchored by the prominent peak of Black Mountain. This 1989 provisional survey captures the area during a period of transition as the Henderson Corporate Boundary expanded into the desert terrain. Infrastructure for a growing metropolitan region is evident, with multiple Trans Lines crossing the basin and several communication sites, including Radio Facility Towers and a standalone Radio Tower, occupying the higher elevations.

Industrial and aviation activity is concentrated near the western edge of the range. The Las Vegas-Henderson Sky Harbor Airport serves as a major landmark for the district, while local resource extraction is marked by a Gravel Pit and scattered Prospect locations. This map provides a detailed view of the interplay between the steep topography of the mountains and the encroaching development from the north.
