Motoqua sits on the eastern edge of this high-desert landscape where the Nevada-Utah border divides the Great Basin. This 2020 survey illustrates a region defined by its scarce water sources, including the namesake Dodge Spring and the isolated Bracken Pond. The terrain is deeply etched by seasonal drainage systems such as Cedar Wash and the East Bunker Peak Wash, which flow through the transition from the Beaver Dam Mountains. While modern topographic data is the focus, the map preserves the location of traditional water holes like Rueben Spring and Betsy Spring, which have long been critical landmarks for travelers and ranchers in this arid borderland. The township and range lines across the Lincoln and Washington County lines provide a precise grid for property research and land management in this sparsely populated corner of the West.
