2015 Map of Dantes View

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses this dramatic terrain where the Amargosa Range and the Black Mountains meet. The map reveals a landscape defined by extreme relief, stretching from the floor of the Mojave Desert to high-elevation vantage points. The iconic Dantes View provides a central landmark, accessible via Dantes View Rd, offering a lookout over the valley floor. To the east of this ridge, the topography transitions into the relatively broad Greenwater Valley. Geologic and topographic features with evocative names like Coffin Peak and Coffin Canyon suggest the harsh character of this environment, while drainage patterns such as Furnace Cr Wash and the steep walls of Copper Canyon illustrate the erosion-carved nature of the desert mountains.
