2015 Map of Anvil Spring Canyon East

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses this stark, arid landscape where the eastern slopes of the Panamint Range descend toward the valley floor. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation details a region of dramatic elevation changes and ephemeral water systems. To the south, the Mojave Desert terrain is carved by Wingate Wash, while the northern reaches include the drainage of Warm Spring Canyon. The presence of the Amargosa River on the eastern edge of the quadrangle highlights the complex hydrology of this closed basin. The only significant transportation corridor is the W Side Rd, which skirts the edge of Death Valley, providing a singular point of access through the alluvial fans and canyons like Anvil Spring Canyon. This map serves as a precise record of the federal land boundaries and natural features within one of the most extreme environments in North America.
