Description: Designated utility corridors for public lands that were designated in the Las Vegas Resource Management Plan, 1998. Corridors were defined by buffering existing large capacity powerlines with defined offsets to the left and right of the centerline of designated rights-of-way. Preliminary data for corridor widths is taken form the Resource Management Plan and powerlines were GPSed with a mapping grade GPS receiver, and post processed against a local base station. Those lines wer then buffered in GIS to define the corridor limits.action item move Lathrop wells proposed corridor south.
