2015 Map of Manly Fall

About this map

Manly Fall sits at the heart of this landscape where the eastern edge of the Panamint Valley meets the rising slopes of the Panamint Range. This area of the Mojave Desert is characterized by its dramatic vertical relief and sparse water sources, including Colter Spring and Redlands Spring. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous drainages, most notably South Park Canyon, Big Horn Canyon, and Redlands Canyon, which have sculpted the land inside the boundaries of Death Valley National Park. Further south, the map details the complex geography around Fish Canyon and Coyote Canyon, illustrating the transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of the mountains. This survey provides a precise accounting of the hydrological features and physical landforms that defined the region’s topography in the early twenty-first century.
