1968 Map of Bonnie Claire SW

About this map

Bonnie Claire Flat occupies the northern reaches of this territory, where the terrain transitions from arid basin floor to the high ridges of the Grapevine Mountains. The southern portion of the map covers the northern boundaries of Death Valley National Monument, revealing a landscape marked by significant elevation changes between peaks like Helmet and the lower reaches of Batus. This 1968 survey documents the complex intersection of county and state boundaries, including the Von Schmidt Line (Indefinite) and the Nevada California border. A solitary Jeep Trail provides the primary passage through the high country, reflecting the primitive transportation network of this desert borderland.
