2021 Map of Dry Mountain

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain dominates this portion of Death Valley National Park, where dramatic elevation changes define the landscape. Centered on the high peaks of Dry Mtn, the map traces the northern reaches of the Last Chance Range as it drops toward the desert floor. In this arid environment, smaller features like the Marble Bath stand out as rare named landmarks in an otherwise stark topography. On the eastern edge of the quadrangle, Racetrack Valley Road provides the primary corridor for movement through the valley below the mountains. This 2021 survey utilizes high-resolution data to document the complex landforms and Public Land Survey System boundaries, such as t12s r40e, that remain vital for park management and geographic orientation in this remote section of Inyo County.
