2012 Map of Nevares Peak

About this map

Park Village serves as a primary point of reference in this arid landscape located within the boundaries of Death Valley National Park. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the desert floor to summits like Nevares Peak and Winters Peak. A network of specialized thoroughfares, including the evocative Old Ghost Rd, Skyline Dr, and Cow Creek Rd, suggests the area's history of desert traversal and resource management. Water is a scarce but vital element here, represented by the ephemeral Cow Cr and the localized Nevares Springs. The map also captures Indian Pass, a notable gap in the high ground that has long influenced movement through this section of the Amargosa Range. The placement of infrastructure relative to these natural features illustrates the challenges of habitation and exploration in one of the hottest environments in North America.
