2015 Map of Hanging Rock Canyon

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses much of this arid landscape, characterized by the dramatic elevation changes between the Eureka Valley and the peaks of the Last Chance Range. This area of the Mojave Desert is dominated by the geological presence of the Crater, which sits at a high point overlooking the deep incision of Hanging Rock Canyon. This terrain serves as a clear example of the basin-and-range topography typical of Inyo County, where isolated roads like S Eureka Rd and Sulfur Rd navigate the steep contours and desert washes. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries that grid this portion of the park, including t8s r39e and t8s r40e, offering researchers a detailed study of the land survey system in one of the most remote parts of the American West.
