Explore North Las Vegas, Nevada, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for North Las Vegas, Nevada. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Nevada or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to North Las Vegas.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

North Las Vegas sits as a sprawling expanse of high desert floor, marked by a terrain of sun-bleached grit and wide, open horizons that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Frenchman Mountain. It lies 2.0 miles north-northeast of Las Vegas, NV (from Las Vegas, NV: bearing 34°T), and is situated 9.5 miles northeast of Spring Valley. The quality of light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, bruised lavender hue, casting long shadows across the dry, alkaline earth that defines the region’s character. While the landscape is largely defined by the arid basin, the presence of the Las Vegas Wash provides a singular, winding thread of drainage that cuts through the thirsty soil. Residents often find respite in the local greenery of Joe Kneip Park, a modest stretch of managed land that offers a quiet contrast to the vast, scrub-covered plains that define the perimeter of North Las Vegas.
History arrived in North Las Vegas when the early twentieth-century promise of water and rail drew settlers to the periphery of the burgeoning valley, transforming a quiet patch of desert into a distinct municipal entity. The pioneers who broke this ground were driven by the necessity of survival in a climate that demands resilience, building their homes upon the belief that the desert could be tamed for industry and expansion. Over the decades, North Las Vegas evolved from a small outpost into a significant residential and logistics hub, shedding its initial isolation to become an essential component of the surrounding metropolitan identity. The spirit of those early settlers remains visible in the grid of the streets, which follow the relentless, geometric logic of a town built to accommodate rapid growth and the constant movement of a desert population.
Economic vitality in North Las Vegas flows through a robust network of industrial parks, distribution centers, and aerospace facilities that leverage the expansive space and proximity to major regional transit arteries. The local infrastructure supports a diverse workforce, with the presence of Nellis Air Force Base anchoring the professional landscape and providing a steady rhythm of activity that pulses through the northern sectors. Educational opportunities are anchored by institutions like the College of Southern Nevada, which helps prepare the local population for the evolving demands of a modern, technology-driven economy. As the region continues to develop, North Las Vegas prioritizes the expansion of its transit corridors and commercial zones, ensuring that the daily flow of goods and people remains as efficient as the arid wind that sweeps across the valley floor.
Cultural life in North Las Vegas is defined by a blend of community-focused annual events and a shared appreciation for the stark, open beauty of the Nevada basin. While major professional sports teams play in the wider metropolitan area, the local pride is found in high school athletics and the vibrant festivals that gather neighbors during the cooler months of the year. The proximity to Lake Las Vegas provides a rare, man-made aquatic point of interest for those seeking a change from the dry, dusty plains, while the proximity to Cashman Field keeps the traditions of regional sport and assembly alive. Life in North Las Vegas moves with a deliberate, steady pace, reflecting a population that finds a quiet, enduring satisfaction in the vast, sun-drenched silence of the basin and the persistent, golden clarity of the desert sky.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
