About this map

Death Valley National Monument dominates this 1988 survey, where the arid peaks of the Grapevine Mountains and Funeral Mountains converge. The terrain is marked by a legacy of exploration and border-making, notably featuring the Von Schmidt Line and the Nevada California state line. Water sources such as Willow Spring and Daylight Spring represent critical life-sustaining points in this desert environment. Evidence of early infrastructure is visible through the Old RR Grade cutting toward the Amargosa Desert, while numerous Prospects and individual Prospect labels indicate the area's history of mineral exploration. Daylight Pass serves as the primary corridor between the high mountain ridges, providing a view into the transportation patterns that defined this section of Inyo County in the late 20th century.
