2012 Map of Badwater
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Death Valley dominates this 2012 topographic study of one of the lowest points in North America. The map highlights the unique hydrology of the basin, featuring the Amargosa River as it traverses the salt flats and the presence of Eagle Borax Spring, a critical water source in this arid environment. Transportation through the valley is limited to the north-south corridor of the W Side Hwy and the utility-focused Eagle Borax Well Rd. Dramatic geological features such as Coffin Canyon and Copper Canyon are carved into the eastern mountain front, illustrating the extreme relief adjacent to the Badwater basin. This survey provides an essential view of the desert landscape's natural features and primitive road network in the early 21st century.
