2021 Map of Maturango Peak NE

About this map

Panamint Valley dominates this arid landscape at the edge of the Mojave Desert, where the northeastern corner of the map transitions into the protected terrain of Death Valley National Park. The survey illustrates a stark, high-desert environment defined by alluvial fans and seasonal washes, navigated only by a sparse network of historic desert routes. Access to this remote region is documented through labels for Trona Wildrose Road and Panamint Valley Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floor. Researchers interested in the transit history of Inyo County will find the alignment of Minietta Rd and Nadeau Rd significant, as these pathways historically connected disparate mining camps and spring sites across the Panamint range. The map provides a clear look at the township and range boundaries that partitioned this vast public land.
