About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses the eastern reaches of Inyo County in this 2015 survey, where the arid environment of the Mojave Desert meets the dramatic elevations of the Amargosa Range. The topography is dominated by the north-south alignment of the Greenwater Range, which separates the high desert peaks from the broad Greenwater Valley to the west. Central to the map is Deadman Pass, a notable geographic bottleneck between the ridges that has long served as a natural corridor through this unforgiving landscape.

Water sources are scarce in this high-relief terrain, with Miller Spring providing a rare named point of interest for those tracking historical survival or movement patterns in the desert. The presence of Brown Peak marks a high point in the northern section, offering a vantage point over the complex township and range system. This map provides a clear view of the protected federal lands at the start of the 21st century, detailing the sparse network of 4WD tracks and roads that navigate the basins and ranges.
