1952 Map of Emigrant Canyon

About this map

Skidoo and Harrisburg stand as central points of interest in this survey of Death Valley National Monument, reflecting the region's mining history. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Tucki Mountain and Pinto Peak, where rugged topography gave rise to a network of resource extraction sites like the Napoleon Mine and Argenta Mine. Movement through this arid terrain followed the Old Eichbaum Toll Road and the Approximate Route, connecting vital water sources such as Emigrant Spring and Wildrose Spring.
