2021 Map of Gold Mountain

About this map

Death Valley National Park extends its boundaries into this portion of the Mojave Desert, where the landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of the Gold Mountain Range. The topography is dominated by the summit of Gold Mtn, a prominent landmark that rises above the surrounding arid terrain. In a region of sparse water resources, Willow Spring appears as a critical natural feature tucked within the high ridges. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the rugged foothills of the Amargosa Range, illustrating the complex geological intersections that characterize this section of the Nevada-California borderlands. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns and steep contours typical of the Great Basin's high desert environments, providing a clear view of the wilderness as it appeared during the 2021 survey.
