2012 Map of Moapa Peak NW

About this map

Mormon Peak anchors this corner of the Mormon Mountains in Lincoln County, Nevada. The high-desert landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage system of the South Fork Toquop Wash, which cuts across the arid terrain. For those tracing the geography of the Great Basin, this 2012 survey identifies vital water sources that have historically sustained life in the region, including Horse Spring, Wiregrass Spring, and Hackberry Spring. These scattered springs represent the essential landmarks for travelers and livestock in a territory otherwise dominated by dry washes and mountain slopes.
