1957 Map of Death Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Death Valley National Monument dominates this mid-century landscape, capturing a transition era where remote mining outposts met expanding federal military and recreational footprints. The terrain is defined by extreme relief between the Panamint Range and the Amargosa Range, with the sunken basin of Death Valley itself hosting critical water sources like Furnace Creek and Stovepipe Wells. To the west, the Inyo Mountains overlook Owens Lake and the settlement of Darwin, while the eastern reaches extend into the Nevada Proving Ground and Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range.
