1987 Map of Galena Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Death Valley National Monument encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Panamint Range in this 1980s-era survey. The map details a complex network of steep drainage systems, including the namesake Galena Canyon and Starvation Canyon, which flow eastward toward the valley floor. Evidence of historic and contemporary mineral exploration is scattered across the landscape, notably around the slopes of Gold Hill. Small-scale mining operations are documented through several Open Pit Mine sites and various prospects found throughout the canyons. The mapping of Johnson Canyon and its South Fork illustrates the challenging topography of this arid region, where 4WD trails provide the only vehicular access to remote landmarks like the Uslm survey marker. These features reflect the dual nature of the land as both a protected natural area and a site for persistent prospecting and resource assessment.
