About this map

Franklin Well serves as a critical point of reference in this arid landscape where the Amargosa Desert and Mojave Desert converge. The topography is defined by the Amargosa River and the ephemeral Rock Valley Wash, with the rising elevations of the Funeral Mountains and the Amargosa Range marking the southwestern boundary of the map.

A portion of Death Valley National Park is visible along the California-Nevada state line, highlighting the region's protected wilderness. While much of the terrain is open desert, a small network of roads such as Diaz Rd, Aligre Rd, and Nye Rd near Ash Tree Spring indicates sparse settlement and ranching activity. The map provides a detailed look at the section lines and township boundaries that partitioned this territory, including t17s r49e and t18s r49e.
