2021 Map of Moapa Peak

About this map

Moapa Peak stands as the primary landmark in this section of the Mormon Mountains, where the high desert terrain transitions toward the vast Mojave Desert. The map reveals a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and natural basins, such as Jacks Pockets and the expansive Mormon Mesa to the southeast. Water management in this arid environment is represented by the Sheep Canyon Reservoir, a critical hydrological feature located below the western slopes. This survey provides a modern view of the Clark and Lincoln county line, illustrating the remote character of southern Nevada's topography where sparse infrastructure meets the formidable geology of the Great Basin's edge.
