2018 Map of Farrier

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash defines the eastern corridor of this desert landscape, serving as the primary drainage through a region marked by ephemeral watercourses and vital springs. The settlement of Moapa Town and the rail-aligned point of Farrier anchor the southern and central portions of the sheet, where the Union Pacific corridor follows the natural topography of the wash. This 2018 survey illustrates the critical role of water in the arid environment, documenting numerous named sources including Lower Cone Springs, Cane Springs, and Grapevine Springs. To the north, the elevation rises toward the Bunker Hills, while the drainage network becomes increasingly complex with features like Farrier Wash, Whitmore Wash, and Mountain Valley Wash carving through the terrain. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Lincoln Co and Clark Co, showing how modern administrative lines intersect with historic township and range divisions.
