2015 Map of Lower Warm Springs

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses the rugged landscape of this quadrangle, where the arid reaches of the Mojave Desert meet the sharp elevation changes of the Saline Range. This 2015 survey details the isolated water sources essential to the region's geography, notably Lower Warm Springs and Palm Spring, which emerge along the eastern margins of the mountains. To the southwest, the topography flattens into the Saline Valley, a desert basin defined by The Dunes and the seasonal drainage patterns of Waucoba Wash. The presence of Saline Valley Rd provides the primary corridor through this remote terrain, following the valley floor. The map’s township and range grids, such as t13s r38e, illustrate the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century administrative land management within one of the most extreme environments in the American West.
