With a tiny population of around 19 residents across an expansive 239 square kilometre area, the locality is sparsely settled highland grazing country on the New England Tablelands at elevations exceeding 1,000 metres. The area is characterised by open farm properties, granite outcrops, and native woodland remnants typical of the elevated tablelands.

Residents of Moggs Swamp live a quiet rural lifestyle, with all services and amenities accessed in Glen Innes — a regional town known for its Scottish heritage, sapphire fossicking, and cool-climate character. The New England Tablelands support excellent cattle and sheep grazing, and the broader region is popular for gem fossicking, with the Craigbourne Fossicking Reserve accessible nearby. The landscape is rugged and beautiful, appealing to those seeking self-sufficient rural living on large landholdings far from urban pressures.
