1988 Map of Beatty Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Death Valley National Monument reveals a landscape defined by extreme topography and hydrologic curiosities in this 1988 provisional survey. Centered on the lowlands of Cottonball Basin, the map illustrates a network of ephemeral water sources and mineral deposits, including the winding course of Salt Creek and the localized Cottonball Marsh. The intersection at Beatty Junction serves as the primary gateway for travelers on Route 190, while various Salt Flats and mineral springs like Springs (Sulphur) characterize the basin floor. Local human history is quietly noted by a lone Grave and the Picnic Area, highlighting the sparse but present footprint of visitors and residents in this arid environment. Survey markers like Usmm 33 and numerous bench marks provide exact elevations for a region famously situated below sea level.
