2021 Map of Galena Canyon

About this map

Panamint Range peaks and deep drainage systems dominate this corner of Death Valley National Park, where the high desert terrain transitions toward the valley floor. The map highlights a series of significant alluvial and erosional features, including the eponymous Galena Canyon and Starvation Canyon in the north. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the sharp relief of Gold Hill and the intricate branching of South Fork Johnson Canyon and Johnson Canyon. These canyons represent critical geographical markers for understanding the historical movement and water resources within the Mojave Desert and the greater Death Valley region. The survey also details the complex land management boundaries across multiple townships, providing a clear view of the interface between protected national park land and the surrounding wilderness.
