1951 Map of Funeral Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Death Valley National Monument reveals a stark landscape of extreme elevation and mining history in this mid-century survey. The Black Mountains dominate the western portion of the sheet, where high points like Dantes View and Coffin Pk overlook the deep basins of the valley. This region was once a hub of early 20th-century prospecting, evidenced here by numerous mines and prospects scattered across the slopes. Most notable are the remnants of short-lived boomtowns, now marked as Furnace (Site) and Greenwater (Site), the latter including a small cemetery. These sites, along with reliable water sources like Greenwater Spring and Willow Spring, represent the precarious nature of human settlement in the arid Greenwater Valley. The topography is defined by dramatic drainages such as Greenwater Canyon and Coffin Canyon, which illustrate the erosion patterns of the Greenwater Range.
