Florine Lawlor describes Meadow Valley Wash from Moapa Valley to Caliente with rugged volcanic escarpments rose colored cliffs and salt grass covered dry lakes. The landscape features steep faults few remaining settlements along the Muddy River and lone shacks amid desolation.
The piece surveys Meadow Valley Wash from Las Vegas toward Rox and Caliente, noting ancient Indian rock designs and petroglyphs, Jedediah Smith’s 1826 passage, Mormon migrations, and the 1864 Meadow Valley Mining Corp boom that yielded over 100 million in bullion. Today mining is idle, with tranquil scenery and sparse activity along the railroad. Directions invite a historic tour from Moapa to Rox and Caliente.
