2015 Map of Ibex Pass

About this map

Death Valley National Park dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions across the Inyo Co San Bernardino Co line. The topography is defined by the steep elevations of the Sperry Hills and the Amargosa Range, with Tecopa Peak serving as a prominent local landmark. Water, though intermittent, has shaped the corridor through Tecopa Wash and the Amargosa River at the northeastern corner of the sheet. Modern infrastructure follows the path of least resistance through the mountains at Ibex Pass, a critical transition point for travelers moving between the basin and the surrounding uplands. The presence of Ibex Spring Rd near the Saddle Peak Hills indicates the historical importance of water sources in this arid stretch of the Mojave Desert.
