The area through which the river flows is sparsely populated, the only settlement on the river being Taksimo, with the small village of Ust-Muya located where the river flows into the Vitim.[2] The Muya is navigable for small craft from the Vitim around 70 kilometres (43 mi) to Taksimo.

The Muya has lent its name to a number of other geographic features, including the Northern Muya Range, the Southern Muya Range, as well as the local Muya District.
