2014 Map of Motoqua

About this map

The Motoqua settlement serves as the primary focal point of this arid Washington County landscape, situated where the East Fork Beaver Dam Wash cuts through the high desert terrain. This 2014 survey captures a region defined by its critical water sources, including scattered desert oases like Cane Spring, Red Hollow Spring, and Jackson Spring. The presence of the Red Hollow Reservoir and Jackson Reservoir indicates the ongoing importance of water management for local ranching or agricultural survival in the shadow of the Mormon Range. To the east, the elevation climbs toward Square Top Mtn and Potters Peak, while the western portion of the map transitions into the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. Historic travel corridors are represented by the Montoqua Rd and Powerline Rd, which navigate through deep topographical features such as Butcher Knife Canyon and Red Hollow.
