2012 Map of Moxa

About this map

Moxa sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where the meandering Hams Fork river defines the local geography. The map reveals a complex system of early 21st-century water management, essential for sustaining life and agriculture in this arid region. The proliferation of named irrigation works, including the Fabian and Tyler Ditch, Philbrick and Johnson Ditch, and the Moore and Bagley Ditch, suggests a long history of communal water rights and land development. These features, alongside Zieglers Wash, illustrate the primary importance of hydrology in the settlement patterns of southwestern Wyoming. The presence of U.S. Route 30 providing the main transit corridor through the area further highlights how transportation and water resources intersect in this specific corridor.
