2021 Map of Chloride City

About this map

The high desert convergence of the Grapevine Mountains and the Funeral Mountains dominates this portion of Death Valley National Park. In an environment defined by extreme topography and aridity, the location of water is the primary driver of human movement, evidenced by the cluster of paths near Keane Wonder Springs and Keane Spring. Historically significant routes, including the Beatty Cutoff Road and Daylight Pass Road, navigate the dramatic transitions between the peaks and the floor of the Mojave Desert. The map meticulously details the network of footpaths leading to high-elevation vantage points like Chloride Cliff and Death Valley Buttes, tracing the infrastructure of early mining access and modern backcountry exploration. This 2021 survey provides a clear view of the springs, such as Hole-in-the Rock Spring, that have long served as essential landmarks for travelers in the Amargosa Range.
