Explore Paradise, 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 Paradise, 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 Paradise.
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.

Paradise occupies a wide, arid basin where the sun bleaches the earth into shades of pale ochre and bone-white, defining the harsh beauty of this desert expanse. It lies 2.7 miles southwest of Winchester, NV (from Winchester, NV: bearing 214°T), and is situated 5.4 miles south of Las Vegas. The geography of Paradise is characterized by a relentless openness, where the sky exerts a heavy, luminous pressure upon the ground, and the horizon remains perpetually distant and shimmering. To the east, the silhouette of the Rainbow Gardens rises against the sky, a reminder of the geological upheaval that shaped these ancient, silent plains. Within this thirsty expanse, the Tropicana Wash serves as a reminder of the rare, sudden rains that occasionally carve pathways through the dust, while the nearby Paradise Valley stretches out as a testament to the patient, slow accumulation of sediment over eons.
Growth in Paradise emerged from the singular ambition of developers who saw the potential for a thriving oasis amidst the vast, dry scrubland. Long before the modern sprawl defined the landscape, the area existed as a quiet stretch of desert, eventually transformed by the rapid migration of people seeking opportunity in the surrounding region. The founding of Paradise was not a matter of sudden arrival but a gradual unfolding, as infrastructure pushed outward to accommodate the influx of those drawn to the promise of labor and leisure. History here is marked by the relentless pace of construction and the constant re-imagining of how a desert floor might sustain a dense, urban existence.
Economic life in Paradise centers on a complex network of service industries, logistics, and the administrative machinery that fuels the surrounding region's activity. The presence of higher education is anchored by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, which serves as a nexus for intellectual growth and professional development, feeding the local workforce with skilled graduates. Infrastructure in Paradise remains a marvel of modern engineering, with wide thoroughfares designed to funnel the constant movement of people and goods across the flat, sun-baked terrain. While the proximity to Twin Lakes provides a rare point of respite, the primary rhythm of the economy is governed by the steady, humming transition of resources and the continuous operation of large-scale commercial centers.
Culture in Paradise finds its expression in the high-energy atmosphere of professional sports and the shared rituals of annual community gatherings. Residents and visitors alike frequent the local arenas where athletic competition serves as a primary social anchor, alongside the quiet, manicured greenery of Siegfried & Roy Park, which offers a respite from the urban intensity. The identity of Paradise is further colored by the presence of entertainers and public figures who have long made this region their base, contributing to the distinct, bold character of the local scene. When evening light turns the sky a deep, bruised purple, the landmarks of the area ignite with artificial brilliance, casting long, stark shadows across the dust and defining the unique, restless spirit of a place built to defy the desolation of the desert.

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.
