1968 Map of Bonnie Claire SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Von Schmidt Line (1873) (Indefinite) cuts a diagonal path across this arid landscape, marking an early attempt to define the boundary between Nevada and California. This high-desert terrain, mapped in the late 1960s, is dominated by the expanse of Bonnie Claire Flat and the rising slopes of the Grapevine Mountains. The map documents a sparsely developed area where travel is largely restricted to a single Jeep Trail winding through the alluvial fans. In the southern portion of the sheet, the boundary of Death Valley National Monument signifies the protected status of these remote desert basins. Small but vital water sources like the Seep are documented near the mountain foothills, providing a rare point of interest for those tracing the history of desert travel or early surveying efforts like the Von Schmidt Line.
