2021 Map of East of Sand Flat

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses this high-altitude desert terrain, where the steep ridgelines of the Cottonwood Mountains and the Panamint Range converge. The topography is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably where Cottonwood Canyon and Marble Canyon cut through the arid slopes. A significant geological point of interest is the Niter Beds in the northeastern quadrant, suggesting historical mineral deposits in this part of the Mojave Desert. The map documents the vast, unpopulated reaches of Death Valley just before the terrain descends into the lower basin, providing a detailed record of the landforms and survey boundaries like t14s r43e that define this protected wilderness.
