About this map

The Muddy River defines the geography of this northern Clark County landscape, supporting a chain of vital water sources in an arid environment. Springs are the primary landmarks for local history here, including Peterson Spring, Warm Springs, High Springs, and the Livingston Number One Spring. These water points trace the lower reaches of Moapa Valley and provided the essential foundation for early ranching and settlement in the region.

Surface drainage is marked by deep cuts such as Arrow Canyon and Battleship Wash, which lead toward the Mojave Desert floor. Human presence is concentrated along the river corridor, evidenced by a network of local roads like Warm Springs Rd and Reservation Rd. The Westpoint Cem stands as a quiet record of the families who established roots near the White Narrows and throughout the surrounding basin during the twentieth century.
