Summary
"This book takes readers on a cartographic journey through thousands of years of history in Las Vegas, illustrating 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 visual elements also depict 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 the Hoover Dam created Lake Mead"-- Provided by publisher.
