1988 Map of Devils Golf Course

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Death Valley National Monument reveals a landscape defined by extreme elevations and mineral deposits as they were recorded in the 1980s. The map focuses on the crystalline salt structures of the Devils Golf Course and the vast Badwater Basin, where numerous benchmarks indicate depths well below sea level, such as TLC BM -237.0. To the east, the steep rise of the Black Mountains features unique geologic landmarks like the colorful Artists Palette and the carved Corkscrew Canyon. Evidence of the region's industrial past is visible near the northern edge of the range, where a Borax deposit is noted. The drainage of Salt Creek feeds into expansive Salt Flat areas, while the Devils Speedway provides a rare point of access through the basin's floor. This survey documents the precise topography of one of the lowest points in North America before subsequent boundary changes and park status reclassifications.
