About this map

North Las Vegas and the surrounding desert landscape are captured during a period of rapid suburban expansion in the early 21st century. The map shows the transition from the structured residential blocks of the city to the alluvial fans of the high desert. To the northeast, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway stands as a massive landmark, anchored by racing-themed infrastructure like Speedway Blvd and Checkered Flag Ln.

Smaller settlements and rail-aligned points like Valley, Lovell, and Dike follow the transportation corridor heading north toward the mountains. A network of arterial roads, including Grand Teton Dr and E Centennial Pkwy, shows the skeletal framework of future growth. Further north, the terrain becomes increasingly rural, marked by the long ascent of Gass Peak Rd and the unique naming of Petrified Tree Ln near the wash systems.
