2018 Map of East of Ryan

About this map

The high-altitude reaches of Death Valley National Park define this arid landscape along the California-Nevada border. The map captures the eastern periphery of the park, dominated by the uplifted limestone and volcanic structures of the Funeral Mountains and the Greenwater Range. In this stark transition where the northern Mojave Desert meets the Great Basin, the topography is carved by episodic runoff, most notably seen in the winding path of Greenwater Canyon. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by geological time rather than human settlement, with only solitary routes like Potero Rd crossing the alluvial fans. Prominent landmarks such as Bat Mtn stand as navigational anchors in a wilderness largely devoid of modern development, preserved for its ecological and geological significance.
