1987 Map of East of Deadman Pass

About this map

The Amargosa River corridor cuts through the arid landscape of Inyo County, showing a complex network of ephemeral channels and flood control features like the Dikes and a smaller Dike found further south. This 1987 survey captures the eastern approaches to the Greenwater Range, where the topography rises sharply from the river basin. Traces of industrial history are etched into the terrain, most notably the Old RR Grade that follows the river's path, providing a clear reference for those studying historical transportation routes through the Mojave. Scattered Prospects and a Borrow Pit indicate localized mining and material extraction efforts in an area defined more by its natural desert forms and township boundaries than by permanent settlements.
