1951 Map of Panamint Butte

About this map

Panamint Valley dominates this mid-century topographic record, showing the stark transition between the Argus Range and the Panamint Range within Death Valley National Monument. The settlement at Panamint Springs serves as a lone hub of activity along Route 190, which cuts eastward toward the high elevation of Towne Pass. The map preserves the paths of early desert commerce and mining, including the historic Old Toll Road, the Nadeau Trail, and the Eichbaum Line.
