About this map

Funeral Mountains dominate the upper half of this landscape, rising to the prominent Schwaub Peak in the northeast. This portion of the Mojave Desert is entirely contained within Death Valley National Park, where dramatic geological formations define the character of the terrain. The map records several notable drainage features and natural formations, including the winding path of Echo Canyon and the wide drainage of Furnace Cr Wash in the southwest corner.

Insights into the local water sources are visible at Navel Spring, a critical point of interest in this arid environment. The eastern slopes of the range feature the striking Red Amphitheater, while a distinct passage known as Hole In the Wall provides a named landmark within the rugged topographic contours of the canyon system. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear view of the complex landforms and named points of interest that have long guided travelers through this part of Inyo County.
