Las Vegas has a long and rich history that extends far beyond the
clichÉs of ‘sin city’, the Mafia, Elvis, or mindless urban
sprawl. This book provides a series of maps with accompanying text
that goes beyond the usual tales of the city and illustrates the
history of the city and surrounding region from the time of the
ancient Anasazi farmers to the present. It provides a geographic
perspective on the city’s growth, showing the influence of water,
public land surveys, transportation routes, and casinos on the
city’s evolution. The atlas also shows the development of the
surrounding region, including public lands, military bases, and
also reconstructs the settlement and geography of the canyons and
valleys of the Colorado River before Hoover Dam created Lake Mead.
Dams, highways, railroads, and other projects planned but never
built are also covered. The maps were constructed using Geographic
Information Systems making use of cartographic data from a range of
public sources as well as extensive mapping by the author, drawing
on decades of experience in the Las Vegas region.
