About this map

Death Valley National Monument reveals a complex landscape of vertical relief and early industrial activity during the mid-twentieth century. The territory is dominated by the Panamint Mountains, where the elevation drops sharply into the Death Valley and Hidden Valley depressions. This era of land use is characterized by the presence of isolated mining operations and essential water sources, such as the Ubehebe Talc Mine, Keeler Mine, and Goldbelt Spring. The mapping of Petroglyphs near Sand Flat indicates a long history of human presence in this arid environment. Transportation at this time was limited to a network of Jeep Trails and standard trails, following the natural contours of major geological features like Cottonwood Canyon and Dead Horse Canyon.
