LibGuides: GIS: Local/Nevada Data

What do we consider "local" data?

UNLV researchers live and work in the Las Vegas Valley which affects the way we view "local" data. The Las Vegas Valley or Las Vegas Metropolitan Area broadly covers: the City of Las Vegas, City of North Las Vegas, City of Henderson, Boulder City and unincorporated towns such as Spring Valley, Enterprise, Paradise, Mt. Charleston, and Pahrump. Our local data list will only contain data sources within the boundaries of our definition of "local". Scroll further down to access other Nevada data sources.
