1986 Map of Fall Canyon

About this map

Grapevine Mountains topography dominates the eastern half of this 1980s-era survey, where steep drainages such as Fall Canyon and Titus Canyon cut through the high desert terrain. The map captures a significant portion of Death Valley National Monument as it appeared before its later redesignation, showing the dramatic transition from the shadowed reaches of Red Wall Canyon down to the sprawling expanse of Mesquite Flat in the southwest. This document preserves the exact placement of benchmark elevations and section lines across the alluvial fans, providing a precise record of the geological and administrative boundaries within this protected landscape during the late twentieth century.
