About this map

Epaulet Peak dominates this high-desert survey within Death Valley National Park, where the Black Mountains and the Amargosa Range converge. The landscape is defined by extensive drainage systems, most notably Jubilee Wash and Bradbury Wash, which carve through the arid terrain of the Mojave Desert. These washes provide a structural logic to the area, often following the same natural corridors used by early travelers.

Evidence of scarce water sources is preserved in the location of Virgin Spring and Rhodes Spring, critical landmarks for those navigating this portion of Death Valley. Human passage is marked by the route through Jubilee Pass, which skirts the southern base of Jubilee Mtn near Rhodes Hill. This survey captures the topographical complexity of a region where elevation changes rapidly between named summits like Desert Hound Peak and the low-lying washes that drain toward the valley floor.
