2015 Map of Joshua Flats

About this map

Death Valley National Park extends across the southern portion of this high-elevation survey, illustrating the protected wilderness where the Mojave and Great Basin deserts meet. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the White-Inyo Range, which drops into the expansive Cowhorn Valley and Joshua Flats. This landscape highlights a transition from rugged peaks to alluvial basins, showing the complex geological character of Inyo County. To the north, Lime Hill overlooks the approach to the Owens Valley, while the solitary path of Big Pine Rd provides the primary corridor through this sparsely populated environment. The map details the intricate contour lines and township-range boundaries, such as t8s r36e and t9s r37e, which delineate the public land grid across this arid terrain.
