2014 Map of Leeland

About this map

The Amargosa River cuts a subtle path through the arid landscapes of the Amargosa Desert and Mojave Desert on this 2014 survey. The map details a unique intersection of state and county boundaries where Nevada and California meet, and the corner of Nye County touches Inyo County. This desert expanse includes the eastern reaches of Death Valley National Park, transitioning from the high-desert plains into the more complex terrain of the park's interior. A sparse grid of roads, such as Mojave Rd and W Frontier St, radiates from the small settlement of Leeland, illustrating the modern human footprint in a region defined by its vastness and the intermittent drainage of Fortymile Wash. This sheet is particularly useful for understanding the boundary-layer land use between protected parkland and the desert flats.
