2018 Map of Funeral Peak

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses this high-elevation desert landscape, where the Black Mountains dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological divides, with Funeral Peak rising in the northwest above the open expanses of the Mojave Desert. The map reveals the complex drainage patterns of this arid environment, highlighting the deep cut of Virgin Spring Canyon and the dry path of Jubilee Wash. To the east, Greenwater Valley provides a distinct transition in topography, while Gold Valley marks the southwestern corner. This survey documents the protected wilderness area through precise contouring, showing the stark relationship between the high peaks and the broad, dry valleys that define this section of Inyo County.
