2017 Map of Dodge Spring

About this map

Motoqua sits at the eastern edge of this arid landscape where the Nevada-Utah state line bisects the high desert terrain. Water sources define the early settlement patterns of this Washington County region, with isolated landmarks like Betsy Spring, Rueben Spring, and the namesake Dodge Spring providing vital points in a land of seasonal drainages. The presence of Ooze Flat Reservoir and Bracken Pond indicates efforts to manage water for livestock and agricultural use in a territory dominated by significant geographic features like Cedar Wash and Horse Canyon. This survey captures the rural character of the borderlands, showing the sparse infrastructure and remote nature of the terrain as it appeared in the early 21st century.
