2023 Map of Moroni Peak

About this map

Moroni Peak and the curiously named Elsies Nipple dominate this high-desert landscape in Wayne County, Utah. This region of the Awapa Plateau is defined by a network of drainage basins and seasonal catchments that reflect a deep history of high-country grazing and land management. The presence of several small-scale water improvements, including Long Hollow Reservoir, Moroni Reservoir, and Rock Point Reservoir, indicates the vital importance of water storage for livestock and irrigation in this arid environment. Significant topographical landmarks like Bullhead Bench and the distinct summits of Big Flat Top and Little Flat Top provide clear reference points for those tracking family land use or historical grazing routes through Rabbit Valley and Wildcat Hollow. The map also details local access via Long Hollow Rd and Big Rocks Rd, marking the infrastructure of this secluded plateau.
