About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses this high-desert terrain within the Panamint Range, where steep elevation changes define the landscape. The area is marked by a network of deep canyons and prominent summits, including Manly Peak and the sharp profile of Needle Peak. Central to the geography is Butte Valley, notable for the distinctive Striped Butte that rises from its floor.

Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with numerous named springs such as Anvil Spring, Quail Spring, and Willow Spring scattered across the slopes. Historically significant routes through the mountains are preserved here, most notably the crossing at Mengel Pass and the Anvil Springs Canyon Trail. These features, along with names like Goler Canyon and Redlands Canyon, trace the paths once used by prospectors and early travelers navigating between the Mojave Desert and the high basins of South Park.
