2015 Map of East of Echo Canyon

About this map

Pyramid Peak and the high ridges of the Funeral Mountains dominate the western portion of this landscape, where the boundary of Death Valley National Park marks the transition from protected wilderness to the valley floor. The eastern half is defined by the arid expanse of the Amargosa Desert, where the Amargosa River and Fortymite Wash thread through the terrain. In the northeast, a grid of local roads including Cottonwood Rd and Desert Storm Rd indicates rural development near the Amargosa Range. The small settlement of Scranton is situated along the eastern edge, serving as a point of human activity in the vast Mojave Desert environment. This survey captures the intersection of dramatic topography and the persistent efforts to establish residency in one of the nation's most challenging climates.
