About this map

The Amargosa River cuts a distinct course through the arid basin of the Mojave Desert, serving as the primary hydrological feature in this corner of Inyo County. This landscape is defined by the convergence of several major geological formations, with the Amargosa Range and Greenwater Range framing the western extent, while the Resting Spring Range rises to the east.

Protection of this desert environment is evident as a significant portion of the terrain falls within the boundaries of Death Valley National Park. The map documents the stark transition between these mountain ranges and the river valley, capturing the remote character of the California-Nevada borderlands in the early twenty-first century. The absence of settlements emphasizes the preservation of the open desert and the seasonal nature of its water systems.
