2018 Map of Devils Speedway

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses this stark desert landscape, where the dramatic elevation changes of the Amargosa Range meet the salt-crusted floor of the Middle Basin. The map highlights a unique geological intersection where drainage from Trail Canyon and Death Valley Canyon spills toward the floor of Death Valley. To the east, the Devils Speedway marks a notable expanse of the Mojave Desert terrain, characterized by its isolation and the presence of Salt Creek. This 2018 survey detail provides an accurate view of the township and range lines, such as t18s r47e, that define the administrative boundaries within this protected wilderness. The drainage patterns and topography documented here show how water moving through the deep canyons interacts with the playa environment during the rare periods of desert runoff.
