2015 Map of East of Waucoba Canyon

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses the central portion of this 2015 topographic study, revealing the stark and arid landscape of the Mojave Desert in Inyo County. The terrain is dominated by the Saline Range, where dramatic elevation changes are documented through detailed contour intervals. In the western part of the quadrangle, Waucoba Wash cuts through the desert floor, indicating the seasonal drainage patterns typical of this high-altitude desert environment. The map provides a precise look at the land management boundaries within the park and the surrounding public lands, as defined by the Public Land Survey System. Researchers interested in the natural geography of eastern California can trace the complex network of ridges and basins that characterize this protected wilderness area near the Nevada border.
