2021 Map of Emigrant Pass

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses this portion of the Panamint Range, where the high desert landscape is defined by complex geological formations and historical passage routes. The map documents a high-elevation environment where Emigrant Pass serves as a critical point of navigation between the peaks. The network of canyons, including the winding Nova Canyon and Nemo Canyon, highlights the erosional patterns of the eastern Mojave. In the south, Wildrose Canyon and the presence of Mud Spring indicate the rare water sources that supported early travelers and workers in this arid region. The inclusion of Charcoal Kilns Road and Aguereberry Point Road provides a view into the infrastructure developed to access the area's mineral and timber resources, connecting the high flats like White Sage Flat to the larger desert basin.
