2015 Map of Devils Golf Course

About this map

Badwater Basin anchors the floor of this arid landscape, a place of extreme elevation changes where the salt flats of Death Valley meet the rising slopes of the Black Mountains. This topographic survey shows the complex alluvial fans and desert washes that define the eastern side of the valley, dominated by the Death Valley National Park boundary. Key geological features such as the Death Valley Natural Bridge and the vibrant mineral deposits at Artists Palette are accessible via winding desert routes like Artists Dr and Natural Bridge Rd. In the north, the Amargosa Range looms over Corkscrew Canyon, illustrating the intense tectonic and erosional forces that have shaped the Mojave Desert. The map meticulously tracks the descent from high ridgelines down to the Middle Basin, revealing the stark isolation of the salt pan.
