1951 Map of Marble Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Panamint Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape within the Death Valley National Monument, revealing a complex network of springs and canyons vital to early 20th-century prospecting. Remote water sources like Goldbelt Spring and Shorty Harris Spring mark the thin margin of survival for miners working the Ubehebe Mine or the Quakingbush Mine. The presence of Petroglyphs near Sand Flat provides a physical link to the area's ancient inhabitants, predating the arrival of the ranchers and miners who later named landmarks like Harris Hill. The terrain is defined by extreme elevation changes between Hidden Valley and Hunter Mountain, where a lone Jeep Trail provides the primary means of navigating the arid basins and steep ridges of Marble Canyon.
