About this map

The Amargosa Desert straddles the arid border of Nevada and California, dominated by a landscape of scattered springs and specialized desert industries. At the heart of this region is Death Valley Junction, a hub defined by the remnants of the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad, which once served the local mining and transport needs of the Amargosa Valley. The importance of groundwater in this environment is evident through named watering points like Crystal Pool, Fairbanks Spr, and Franklin Well, which supported both livestock and early settlements.
