1969 Map of Moapa Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Moapa Peak dominates the northern reaches of this 1960s desert landscape, standing as a primary landmark within the Mormon Mountains. The terrain transitions from these high peaks down into the expansive Mormon Mesa to the south, a region marked by steep escarpments and complex drainage patterns. This survey, based on 1967 aerial photography, captures the isolation of the area at the border of Lincoln and Clark Counties. Evidence of land use is sparse but significant, with a Corral and isolated Ruins suggesting intermittent ranching or historical habitation. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the Sheep Canyon Reservoir, while a primitive Jeep Trail winds through the Mormon Jacks Pockets, providing one of the few navigable routes through the high desert breaks.
