2018 Map of Dantes View

About this map

Dantes View provides a vantage point over a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes within Death Valley National Park. The terrain is characterized by the prominent crests of Mount Perry, Dantes Peak, and Coffin Peak, which form a high ridge overlooking the eastern reaches of the Mojave Desert. This 2018 survey detail shows the steep descent into deep-cut geological features like Coffin Canyon and Copper Canyon, while the eastern portion of the sheet opens into the broad expanse of Greenwater Valley. The drainage of Furnace Cr Wash cuts through the northern and southern corners of the map, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the Black Mountains. This modern record of the park's topography serves as a precise guide to the natural landmarks and rugged drainage networks that shape this iconic desert environment.
