2012 Map of Funeral Peak

About this map

Funeral Peak dominates the northwestern corner of this 2012 topographic record of Inyo County, overlooking a high-desert landscape defined by arid washes and rugged relief. The map reveals the path of the Jubilee Wash as it cuts through the southern reaches, draining toward the valley floor. Historically, these remote routes provided critical access for early mining and exploration, as seen in the alignment of Furnace Creek Rd and the aptly named Lost Section Rd. In the southwestern quadrant, the elevation descends into Gold Valley, an area whose name hints at the region’s prospecting heritage. This survey, compiled from 2010 imagery and 2011 names data, provides a contemporary record of these ancient corridors through one of California’s most unforgiving environments.
