About this map

Greenwater Range dominates this desert landscape, its jagged topography rising sharply above the expansive Greenwater Valley in Inyo County. This 1987 provisional survey reveals a terrain defined by mineral exploration and high-altitude landmarks, where numerous prospects and a singular prospect dot the slopes of the range. These markings suggest a history of small-scale mining efforts seeking fortunes in the arid hills near Deadman Pass.

The presence of Miller Spring indicates one of the few water sources in this dry environment, positioned near the foot of the mountains. To the south and east, the peaks take on distinct identities, including the Calico Peaks, Brown Peak, and Evelyn Peak. The network of unimproved roads and trails shown suggests the area was primarily accessed by those working the land or traversing the pass between the valley floors.
