2015 Map of East of Deadman Pass

About this map

The Death Valley National Park boundary encompasses a significant portion of this high-desert landscape, where the ephemeral Amargosa River cuts a north-south path through the valley floor. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Amargosa Range to the northwest and the Greenwater Range to the southwest, illustrating the dramatic topography of the Mojave Desert. This 2015 survey provides a modern snapshot of the protected federal lands and the preserved natural drainage systems that characterize the eastern edge of the park. The map's detail is particularly useful for tracking the river's winding course through an arid environment where water is the primary architect of the land.
