2015 Map of Dumont Dunes

About this map

Dumont Dunes and the Valjean Dunes dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where wind-shaped sands meet the wide expanse of the Silurian Valley. The geography of this corner of the Mojave Desert is defined by sharp elevation shifts between the Sperry Hills and the deep cut of Amargosa Canyon in the north. This 2015 survey illustrates a land largely untouched by modern development, characterized instead by traditional land divisions like t19n r7e and the single access provided by Dumont Dunes Rd. Researchers can identify specific landforms such as the Salt Spring Hills and the Dumont Hills, which provide essential reference points in an area defined by shifting desert topography and the corridor leading toward Sperry.
