2012 Map of Anvil Spring Canyon West

About this map

Indian Ranch occupies a central position along Butte Valley Rd in this 2012 survey, representing a significant human point of interest in a desert landscape defined by isolated water sources and high-elevation landmarks. Located within the boundaries of Death Valley National Park, the area's hydrology is marked by the presence of Grubstake Spring and Warm Spring, which have historically served as vital resources for inhabitants and travelers alike. To the south, Sugarloaf Peak rises as a prominent topographical feature, anchoring the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents the sparse but critical network of roads and natural springs like Lost Spring that facilitate movement through this protected wilderness, providing a clear view of the relationship between arid-land geography and historical ranching sites.
