About this map

The Amargosa River cuts through the arid landscape of the Mojave Desert on this 2021 study, following the path of Highway 127. This region, located within the eastern boundaries of Death Valley National Park, is defined by the dramatic convergence of several mountain chains, including the Amargosa Range, Greenwater Range, and the Resting Spring Range. The settlement of Evelyn sits at a narrow point in the river valley, marking a historically significant location for travelers moving through this corridor between the ranges.

Prominent landforms like Eagle Mtn provide essential reference points for navigating the desert floor. The map illustrates the complex public land survey system divisions across township and range lines, reflecting the structured management of these federally protected lands. The proximity of the river to the roadway highlights the enduring importance of this natural passage through the high-relief terrain.
