1974 Map of Tule Springs Park

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Las Vegas Corporate Boundary marks the southern limit of this 1974 topographic survey, revealing a landscape of transition where desert scrub meets the encroaching edges of urban growth. The high desert floor is dominated by the Tule Springs Park and the vast Desert National Wildlife Range to the east. Evidence of the region's industrial and transportation history is etched into the terrain through an Old Railroad Grade and numerous Gravel Pits. A web of Jeep Trails and scattered Prospects suggest a legacy of mineral exploration and rugged recreation northwest of the growing city. The presence of several Wells underscores the critical importance of water management in this arid environment before the full-scale development of the Las Vegas valley reached these northern reaches.
