2021 Map of Ibex Pass

About this map

Ibex Pass serves as a critical desert corridor where Death Valley Rd cuts through the high ground between the Sperry Hills and the Ibex Hills. This arid landscape is defined by the stark transition across the Inyo Co San Bernardino Co line, with much of the southern terrain protected within Death Valley National Park. The topography here is dictated by the rugged elevations of the Amargosa Range and isolated heights like Tecopa Peak. Along the northeastern edge, the Amargosa Wild and Scenic River and the main channel of the Amargosa River provide a rare riparian thread through the Mojave Desert. The map documents the relationship between modern transit routes and the natural barriers of the Saddle Peak Hills, illustrating how the geography of the pass continues to dictate movement through this corner of California.
