2021 Map of Deadman Lake NW

About this map

The Bullion Mountains dominate the eastern half of this arid landscape, characterized by complex topography and narrow drainage paths. The map reveals the stark geological structure of the region, where Noble Pass provides a natural break in the higher elevations. Traversing the central basin, Rainbow Canyon Rd follows the floor of Rainbow Canyon, serving as the primary corridor through this portion of the Mojave Desert. This terrain-heavy survey illustrates a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of the peaks down to the lower stretches of Wood Canyon and the southern extent of Gypsum Ridge. The absence of developed settlements highlights the isolation of these mountain ranges, where mapping is focused on the precise recording of ridges, passes, and desert washes.
