1986 Map of Mormon Point

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Death Valley National Monument dominates this mid-1980s terrain study, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and ephemeral water sources. The Amargosa River traces a path through the valley floor, terminating in expansive Mud-Alkali flats that characterize this arid basin. To the east, the steep ascent of the Black Mountains provides a stark contrast to the low-lying salt pans. Small-scale water infrastructure is documented through labels like Gravel Well and Well WT, essential landmarks for desert navigation and early resource extraction. The prominence of Mormon Point serves as a key topographical anchor along the eastern mountain front, where alluvial fans spread toward the valley center. This survey captures the region just before significant administrative changes, providing a detailed record of drainage patterns and isolated springs.
