About this map

Lees Camp stands as a primary focal point within this desert landscape, situated at the boundary where the Mojave Desert meets the eastern reaches of Death Valley National Park. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of the Funeral Mountains, which dominate the southwestern portion of the sheet. This 2018 survey captures the intersection of the Nevada and California state line and the border between Nye and Inyo Counties, illustrating the administrative complexities of managing this arid expanse.

Natural landmarks like Sand Hill Peak and the vast Amargosa Desert provide context for the local geography, while the southern edge is marked by the rugged paths of Echo Canyon and the scenic lookout at Amargosa View. The map illustrates the sparsely settled character of the region, where infrastructure is limited to specialized sites like the camp amidst a landscape primarily dedicated to federal preservation.
