Las Vegas
Prehistoric Southern
Nevada was a virtual marsh of abundant water and vegetation.
As eons passed, the marsh
receded. Rivers disappeared beneath the surface. The once teeming wetlands
evolved into a parched, arid landscape that supported only the hardiest
of plants and animals. Water trapped underground in the complicated geologic
formations of the Las Vegas Valley sporadically surfaced to nourish luxuriant
plants, creating an oasis in the desert as the life- giving water flowed
to the Colorado River.
Construction workers in
1993 discovered the remains of a Columbian mammoth that roamed the area
during prehistoric times. Paleontologists estimate the bones to be 8,000
to 15,000 years old. Hidden for centuries from all but native Americans,
the Las Vegas Valley oasis was protected from discovery by the surrounding
harsh and unforgiving Mojave Desert.
Mexican trader Antonio
Armijo, leading a 60-man party along the Spanish Trail to Los Angeles in
1829, veered from the accepted route.
While Armijo's caravan
was camped Christmas Day about 100 miles northeast of present day Las Vegas,
a scouting party rode west in search of water. An experienced young Mexican
scout, Rafael Rivera, left the main party and ventured into the unexplored
desert. Within two weeks, he discovered Las Vegas Springs. |
