1987 Map of Cottonwood Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Panamint Mountains dominate this high-elevation terrain within Death Valley National Monument, where dramatic geological formations define the landscape of the late 1980s. The map illustrates a network of deep drainages, including the prominent Cottonwood Canyon and the winding Marble Canyon. These corridors have long served as vital routes through the arid environment, supported by a critical Spring located near the canyon floor. The presence of Dead Horse Canyon and Lemoigne Canyon further showcases the complex desert topography. A single 4wd track provides the only vehicular access through this section of the monument, emphasizing the isolation and technical nature of travel in the western Mojave before more modern park infrastructure was developed.
