Petroglyph / Rock Art Sites in the Southwest,

with a Focus on Southern Nevada

"Preservation through Education"

The Southwest, including Southern Nevada, has a significant amount of Native American Petroglyph  / Rock Art Sites.  The main focus of this web site will be on the rock art of Southern Nevada which extends back 1500 years or more, and was typically created by either the Paiute, Shoshone, Chemehuevi, or the Anasazi people.  Our goals for this web site are twofold: first, to be a guide or learning tool for the beginner, as well as an instrument for the seasoned rock art researcher; and second, to provide visual access to a concentrated amount of petroglyphs from one specific region – Southern Nevada.  Our beliefs are that by educating people to the historical significance of the rock art, people will be more inclined to respect, and preserve, the sites for the enjoyment of everyone for a long, long time.

If you know of any rock art sites or isolated petroglyphs and you are willing to share that information, please contact me by clicking anywhere in this text.  I am very interested in "new to me" sites in the greater Clark County (Las Vegas) area of Nevada.  I am especially interested in the Gold Butte region (eastern Clark County), the adjoining rivers, and Lake Mead.  Any information given to me will not be traded or given to any other person or agency.
