2021 Map of Panamint Butte

About this map

The Cottonwood Mountains and the northern reaches of the Panamint Range dominate this 2021 landscape within Death Valley National Park. Central to the terrain is Panamint Butte, a prominent landmark that overlooks the deep arid basins of the Mojave Desert. The map reveals a complex network of drainage systems, including Lemoigne Canyon, Panamint Canyon, and Dolomite Canyon, which illustrate the erosional patterns of this high-elevation desert environment. High-altitude travel is marked by the Lemoigne Canyon Trl, while modern transit is facilitated by Sr 190 as it crests at Towne Pass. This survey provides a precise modern record of the transition from the high peaks to the low floor of the Panamint Valley, documenting the topographic details of the California desert.
