2021 Map of Mesquite Flat

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses most of this landscape, where the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert transition into the low-lying basin of Death Valley. The topography is dominated by the expansive Mesquite Flat, a broad alluvial expanse characterized by subtle elevation changes and complex drainage patterns. In the northwestern section of the quadrangle, the Niter Beds represent a distinct geological formation, while the presence of Triangle Spring in the northeast serves as a critical water point in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to the corridor of Scottys Castle Road, which skirts the eastern edge of the valley. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern management boundaries and the preservation of these natural features, providing a detailed look at the desert floor and the surrounding mountain foothills that define the eastern and western horizons.
