2018 Map of Jail Canyon

About this map

Death Valley National Park dominates this terrain where steep drainage systems carve through the desert landscape toward the Panamint Valley. The map details a series of significant geographic features, including Wildrose Canyon in the north and the complex network of Jail Canyon and Hall Canyon further south. A primitive route labeled Jail Canyon to Hall Canyon suggests the historic passage through these eastern slopes, while Indian Ranch Rd provides one of the few low-elevation access points. This 2018 survey reveals the topographic density of the Mojave Desert borderlands, tracing the descent from high ridgelines down into the alluvial plains. Other notable features like Williams Canyon and Tuber Canyon illustrate the erosional patterns that characterize this portion of Inyo County.
