2012 Map of Mormon Point

About this map

Death Valley National Park dominates this desert landscape, where the ephemeral flow of the Amargosa River traces a path through the arid basin floor. The terrain is marked by the prominent landform of Mormon Point, a significant geological feature located along the eastern margin of the valley. A network of unpaved desert routes provides access to the remote canyons of the Panamint Range, including Johnson Canyon Rd and Galena Canyon Rd, which push westward toward the high country. These roads, along with the Queen of Sheba Rd, reflect the area's long history of mineral exploration and the persistent human effort to navigate this demanding environment. The layout of W Side Hwy and Butte Valley Rd illustrates the essential transport corridors that skirt the valley's edge, connecting remote mining claims and natural landmarks within the protected park boundaries.
