2018 Map of East of Echo Canyon

About this map

Funeral Mountains dominate the southwestern corner of this survey, rising to the prominent Pyramid Peak. This arid landscape marks a convergence of the Amargosa Desert and the Mojave Desert, where the seasonal drainage of the Amargosa River and Fortymile Wash bisect the terrain. The map captures a section of the Death Valley National Park boundary where it meets the Nevada-California state line. On the Nevada side, the settlement of Scranton is situated along the eastern edge, while a modest network of rural roads like Mecca Rd and Cottonwood Rd services the desert flats. The topography illustrates the stark transition from the high, craggy peaks of the Funeral range down to the wide, alluvial basins of the surrounding desert basins.
