2021 Map of Devils Speedway

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses the stark geological transitions of this desert landscape, where the rugged peaks of the Panamint Range descend into the low-lying reaches of Death Valley. The map highlights several dramatic drainage features, including Trail Canyon and Death Valley Canyon, which carve through the western alluvial fans toward the valley floor. To the east, the terrain levels out into the Mojave Desert and the Middle Basin, a region characterized by ephemeral water systems like Salt Cr. The eponymous Devils Speedway is located on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, reflecting the unique salt pan and mudflat surfaces that define this portion of the basin. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range grid system as it overlays the natural topography of one of the lowest and driest environments in North America.
