1974 Map of Tule Springs Park

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Floyd R Lamb State Park anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, marking a point where the urban expansion of Nevada’s largest city meets the arid basin. The Las Vegas Corporate Boundary cuts across the alluvial fans, showing the northward reach of the city’s limits during the early 1980s. To the northeast, the Desert National Wildlife Range preserves a vast stretch of the Mojave environment, while the presence of a Railroad Grade and numerous Gravel Pits points to the infrastructure and material demands of a growing desert metropolis. The terrain is crisscrossed by a Jeep Trail and dotted with several Prospects, reflecting a history of small-scale exploration and resource extraction on the periphery of the Vegas Valley. This edition includes purple photorevisions that document the changing road network and boundary shifts at the desert's edge.
