2012 Map of Ibex Spring

About this map

Ibex Spring serves as a vital water source in this arid corner of San Bernardino County, situated within the southern reaches of Death Valley National Park. The landscape is dominated by the prominent Ibex Hills and a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the wide expanses of Buckwheat Wash and Ibex Wash. In the northern section, Confidence Wash cuts through the desert floor, illustrating the hydraulic forces that shape this environment. Human presence is limited to the remote Ibex Spring Rd, which provides the primary access route through this protected wilderness. This 2012 survey captures the intersection of desert geography and federal land management, showing how the park boundaries encompass these critical natural springs and topographic features in a region defined by its extreme dryness.
