1987 Map of Greenwater Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Greenwater (Site) serves as a primary point of interest on this 1980s-era topographical study, marking the location of a former mining settlement within the Greenwater Valley. Located on the eastern edge of Death Valley National Monument, the terrain is defined by the steep elevation changes between the Greenwater Range and the alluvial fan system of Furnace Creek Wash. Evidence of the area's prospecting history is scattered across the landscape, noted by numerous Prospects and a small Cem near the townsite. The presence of Greenwater Spring at the base of the mountains indicates the critical water sources that once supported local habitation in this arid environment. The map details a complex network of canyons, including the prominent Greenwater Canyon, which cuts through the high desert peaks.
