Moapa Valley

Moapa Valley is in Southern Nevada. It is somewhat agricultural and sleepy in nature below dry escarpments and barren southern Nevada peaks.

Understand
Moapa Valley is the result of the merger of two former communities in the Muddy River Valley, Logandale and Overton. There's another municipality called Moapa on the north side of I-15 that's more or less a part of the community too. This area was settled by Mormons after the Anasazi and Paiutes had lived here long before.
