2012 Map of Manly Peak

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses this high-desert landscape in the southern Panamint Range, where steep elevations and isolated springs define the geography. The map documents a primitive transportation network centered on Coyote Canyon Rd and Butte Valley Rd, which provide access to the high backcountry. Significant landmarks like Manly Peak and Needle Peak anchor the southern and western portions of the quadrangle, while Striped Butte stands as a prominent geological feature within the central Butte Valley. Evidence of habitation and survival in this arid environment is limited to specific sites such as Russell Camp and Greater View Spring. Near the center of the sheet, the terrain rises to Mengel Pass, a critical point for travelers moving between the canyons. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern boundaries and preserved nature of this portion of Inyo County.
