2021 Map of Dry Bone Canyon

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses this arid landscape where the eastern slopes of the Cottonwood Mountains descend toward the valley floor. The map highlights the drainage of Dry Bone Canyon, which feeds into the Death Valley Wash to the north. This modern survey illustrates the rugged topography of the Mojave Desert, showing the extreme elevation changes between the Panamint Range and the low-lying Niter Beds. Access through this remote terrain is limited to the Scottys Castle Road in the northeast and the specialized Dry Bone Canyon Trl following the wash. The detailed contouring provides a clear view of the complex alluvial fans and geological formations typical of the Death Valley region, preserving the current state of these protected federal lands.
