1951 Map of Funeral Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Dantes View provides a high-altitude vantage point over the stark terrain of Death Valley National Monument as it was mapped in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of mining history, marked by numerous unnamed Mines and Prospects scattered across the Black Mountains and Greenwater Range. The presence of the Furnace (Site) and Greenwater (Site) indicates formerly inhabited areas that had transitioned to historical markers by this era. Natural water sources were critical to life in this arid environment, evidenced by isolated spots like Greenwater Spring, Sheep Creek Spring, and Willow Spring. From the depths of Gold Valley to the heights of Funeral Peak and Smith Mountain, the map documents a network of primitive roads and trails connecting these remote points of interest.
