1983 Map of Moapa East

About this map

Moapa and Glendale anchor this early 1980s look at the desert landscape where the Muddy River meets major infrastructure. The town of Moapa is situated along the Union Pacific railroad corridor, while Glendale marks a junction of roadways and transmission lines. The hydrological character of the region is defined by the Meadow Valley Wash, protected in parts by a Levee, and the California Wash entering from the southwest. Local operations are evident at Searles Ranch and a nearby Gravel Pit. Aviation and communication landmarks, including a Landing Strip, a Radio Facility, and an Airway Beacon, indicate the area's importance as a transit and utility corridor. The terrain transitions into the North Muddy Mountains to the south, featuring Weiser Ridge and the dramatic topographic pinch point known as The Narrows.
