1986 Map of Badwater

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Lowest Point in United States -282 Feet sits at the heart of this mid-1980s survey, marking the extreme geography of Badwater Basin. The landscape is dominated by the alkaline floor of Death Valley National Monument, where the Amargosa River terminates into vast Salt Flats and areas of mud and alkali. Along the western edge, historical human presence is recorded at Bennetts Well and Eagle Borax Well, alongside the Dayton Harris Grave Mon near the Dayton Harris Gravity Station 2577. To the east, the Black Mountains rise sharply from the valley floor, cut by the descriptively named Coffin Canyon and Copper Can. The map illustrates a stark environment of salt crusts and seasonal water, including the crystalline expanse of the Devils Golf Course.
