2015 Map of Galena Canyon

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses the stark, high-altitude terrain of the Panamint Range as it descends into the arid basins of the Mojave Desert. This 2015 survey captures a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the prominent heights of Gold Hill to the deeply carved drainage of Galena Canyon. The area is marked by a series of steep eastern slopes where Johnson Canyon and its South Fork cut through the mountains toward the floor of Death Valley. Further north, Starvation Canyon and Six Spring Canyon provide additional topographical detail for those studying the geological structure and water drainage patterns of this protected wilderness. The map is primarily an environmental record, documenting the township and range boundaries that overlay this protected federal land.
