MOAPA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (NWR) (NEVADA)

One of the nine National Wildlife Refuges (NWR) located in the State of Nevada, the Moapa NWR was established in 1979 in order to protect and secure habitat for the Endangered Moapa dace and a candidate for listing, the White River springfish. The refuge contains 32 acres (0.05 square mile) and is located just north of the Moapa River Indian Reservation, 5 miles northwest of Moapa, Nevada, located in Clark County.
