1986 Map of Panamint Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Cottonwood Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape within the Death Valley National Monument, revealing a complex network of canyons and peaks before the area's redesignation as a National Park. Central to the map's historical interest is the Lemoigne Mine, situated near the head of the South Fork Lemoigne Canyon, alongside several noted prospects that speak to the region's mineral prospecting history. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Panamint Butte and the deep incisions of Lemoigne Canyon and Panamint Canyon. Transportation is limited to a few rugged routes, most significantly Route 190 crossing through Towne Pass, providing a critical transit point between the Panamint Range and the valley floor. The map also captures the stark southern reaches of the quadrangle including Dolomite Canyon, where the topography transitions toward the lower desert basins.
