1957 Map of Dry Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Death Valley National Monument encompasses the eastern half of this 1957 survey, highlighting a stark landscape defined by the sharp vertical rise of the Panamint Range. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Saline Valley (Depression) in the west to the high summit of Dry Mountain. This mid-century record documents a network of primitive access routes, including a Jeep Trail winding through the high country and the curious naming of Teakettle Junction in Racetrack Valley. Grounded in data from 1952 aerial photography, the map identifies critical water sources in the arid environment like Upper Warm Spr and the isolated Marble Bath. The sheet provides a clear view of the complex topography of the Saline Range, where surveyors established numerous triangulation stations such as VABM Black Top to navigate the basin and range geology.
