2021 Map of Jail Canyon

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses the majority of this landscape, where the eastern slopes of the Panamint Range drop sharply toward the Panamint Valley. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic parallel drainages, including Wildrose Canyon, Williams Canyon, and Tuber Canyon, which cut through the high desert toward the valley floor. These deep incisions into the mountain front illustrate the geological transition from the high ridges of the Mojave Desert down to the alluvial fans of the valley bottom.
