1987 Map of Galena Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Death Valley National Monument encompasses the arid, high-relief terrain of the Panamint Range as it appeared in the late 1980s. This survey records a landscape defined by deep drainage systems and mineral exploration, notably within Galena Canyon and Starvation Canyon. The presence of several Prospects and a significant Open Pit Mine near the southern boundary reflects the region's enduring mining history, where geologic investigation and resource extraction often dictated human movement through these steep corridors. To the west, Gold Hill rises as a prominent landmark above the braided washes of Six Spring Canyon and the South Fork Johnson Canyon. The map preserves the exact location of these small-scale workings and remote natural springs before further modern changes to the monument's management and land status.
