2012 Map of Ibex Pass

About this map

Death Valley National Park borders the western portion of this high desert landscape, where the terrain is defined by the steep elevation changes of Ibex Pass. This survey illustrates the modern intersection of historic pathways and arid geography, notably where the Old Spanish Trail Hwy skirts the northern edge of the Sperry Hills. Drainage patterns are dictated by the Amargosa River and the ephemeral Tecopa Wash, which carve through the basin floor. Local topography is anchored by Tecopa Peak and Mclain Park, providing a detailed look at the watercourses and access routes like Ibex Spring Rd that characterize this part of San Bernardino County. The arrangement of these features underscores the region's enduring role as a transit corridor through a difficult desert environment.
