1988 Map of Emigrant Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Death Valley National Monument encompasses this arid, high-altitude landscape in Inyo County, where steep drainages like Nova Canyon and Nemo Canyon carve through the Panamint Range. Human activity in this unforgiving environment is centered around reliable water sources and mineral extraction. The Wildrose Ranger Station serves as an administrative hub near the Wildrose Campground, while reliable life-sustaining points are marked by Wildrose Spring and Mud Spring. Evidence of the region’s mining heritage is visible through scattered prospects and the named Christmas Mine to the east. The terrain transitions from the high Harrisburg Flats down through White Sage Flat, with transportation routes dictated by the contours of the land, most notably crossing at Emigrant Pass. This survey illustrates the isolation and essential infrastructure required to navigate and work within the desert interior.
