1958 Map of Moapa

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Moapa River Indian Reservation serves as a central landmark in this mid-century survey of the Muddy River valley. The Union Pacific railroad line dictates the corridor of settlement, connecting the small communities of Moapa and Glendale. The landscape is defined by the hydrological network of the Muddy River and its numerous desert washes, including California Wash and Meadow Valley Wash. This map provides significant detail for local historians, documenting scattered homesteads and infrastructure like the Home Ranch, Searles Ranch, and the West Point Cemetery. The topography transitions from the high ground of the Muddy Mountains and Muddy Ridge to the low-lying basin known as The Bowl. The presence of Warm Springs and Muddy Spring highlights the vital importance of water sources in this arid desert region during the 1950s.
