1987 Map of Funeral Peak

About this map

Funeral Peak rises as a prominent landmark within the high desert landscape of Death Valley National Monument, overseeing a region defined by dramatic elevation changes and isolated mining activity in the late 1980s. The map illustrates a stark geographic transition from the high ridges of the Greenwater Range down into the broad expanse of Greenwater Valley. To the west, the enclosed drainage of Gold Valley is hemmed in by steep slopes, eventually feeding toward the complex drainage system of Virgin Spring Canyon in the south.
