About this map

The Amargosa Desert straddles the high-stakes border of Nevada and California, revealing a landscape defined by ephemeral water and vanished infrastructure. Central to this desert basin is the Leeland (Site), a former settlement point along the Old RR Grade that once served the region's transport needs. The path of the Amargosa River and Fortymile Wash cut through the arid terrain, highlighting the hydraulic geography of this borderland.
